The Young Lion

The FA's ticket was issued very quickly, and there was quite a quick posture to calm down as soon as possible.

The three coaches Aldridge, Jenson and Craig suspended two games.

Southgate suspended three games with a direct red card and four additional penalties. A total of seven games were suspended.

Deyi directly suspended three games with a red card and added six games, for a total of nine games.

Another Millwall stadium management failure, riots in the stands, fined 180,000 pounds.

This is the biggest fan riot in the stadium since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992. Another FA football ticket has not yet been announced. It is for the fans of both parties in the game because police were injured in the conflict. During the 15-minute game suspension, even the police on horses rushed into the stadium.

The FA has cracked down on football hooligans. Millwall and West Ham United are the cradle of football hooligans. It is precisely this opportunity to take remedial action. The unpublished list is rumored to have more than 400 fans on the list, as long as They were photographed in a physical conflict with the police and will be sentenced to capital punishment by the FA: life ban. In fact, he can no longer step into the football stadium organized by the FA.

Fans with hurtful behavior will also face prosecution.

Aldridge and his two assistants spoke badly to the referee. The FA only sentenced him to two suspensions. In fact, Millwall cooperated with the action against football hooliganism to make the FA high.

In any case, in the final sprint stage of the Premier League championship, if Millwall is given too severe penalties, it is easy to fall to help Manchester United or Newcastle United, which will arouse greater dissatisfaction among the fans.

Barry Knight, the law enforcement referee in the center of the whirlpool, was immediately protected by the FA and reduced him to a lower-level league for law enforcement. Even if he returns to the Premier League in the future, it is estimated that it will be difficult to enter the Millwall playing field. .

England’s suspension rules are very different from other European leagues, that is, the player’s suspension is effective in domestic events, not the league and the cup. Therefore, Millwall challenged Newcastle United FA Cup 1 midweek. /4 game, Aldridge can not command the team on the sidelines.

Newcastle United have just lost to Liverpool, and the gap between Manchester United and Millwall has narrowed to a goal.

Even if Aldridge is suspended, one of the team's main players is seriously injured, and the captain is suspended, Kevin Keegan still sends most of the bench players at home. He must prepare for the last five games of the league.

Millwall hadn't come out because of his bad breath. Aldridge made Elgra replace Southgate and Zambrotta replaced Neil. He was a guest at St. James Park Stadium.

Aldridge sat in the stands and accompanied by FA officials to watch Millwall's 2-1 away win against Newcastle United and headed to the FA Cup semi-finals.

Kevin Keegan didn't mind losing the FA Cup, he was even a little bit happy in his heart, because Millwall really met Manchester United in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, in any case, Millwall and Manchester United have a fight The life-and-death battle of the final tickets will benefit Newcastle United for the final five rounds of the Premier League.

Aldridge did not show a happy expression on the team's return to victory.

Stepping into the semi-finals does not mean winning the championship, there is nothing to be happy about.

Since there will be a European Championship this summer, and it will be played in England, England has high expectations for the national team and hopes to win the trophy at the door. Therefore, in order to give the national team players more time to prepare, it is also the host country to arrange the stadium early To welcome the arrival of national powerhouses, the English League will be over at the beginning of May, which is more than half a month earlier than the odd number of years, so the season in April this season is very dense.

On May 3, the Premier League ended.

In other words, Millwall has four Premier League games and one FA Cup semi-final in the next 20 days.

Aldridge returned to London to give the team a day off. At home this weekend, the league will face Aston Villa. He will send a substitute to play in the FA Cup semi-final with Manchester United next week.

Because of Neil's serious injury and fan riots, Aldridge came home and sat on the sofa, as if he didn't want to do anything.

Dingdong!

Doorbell rang.

Aldridge got up to open the door, and there stood a man with a tired look that seemed even worse than him.

He was a little fatter, almost as tall as Aldridge, wearing a shirt and trousers, with a bright forehead and some gratitude on his head.

"Raphael?"

Aldridge looked at the visitors at night in surprise.

He never thought that one day he would see this person in front of his house. It was expected that they should meet again in the Premier League. He was blue and the other party was red.

The person here is 36-year-old Rafael Benitez.

Benitez, who had already begun to thank, looked tired, looked at the living room, and said, "Would you like me to sit in?"

Aldridge raised his eyebrows and gave way, reaching out and asking: "Sit casually, what do you drink? Coffee or tea? Or water?"

"Is there any wine?"

Benitez's mental state was slightly decadent, and he asked quietly after sitting down.

Aldridge went to get two bottles of beer, one for each. After sitting on the sofa, Benitez looked at the beer in his hand and smiled bitterly: "Aren't you a rich kid? Why would you ask me to drink beer?"

Aldrich didn't have a good time talking, and said casually: "What do you want to drink? Go and see for yourself. There is a thermostatic cabinet next to the refrigerator with red wine in it. Are you working as an assistant to Bosque?"

Aldridge didn’t know any big guys in Spain a few years ago, but he met Benitez who was holding coaching in Real Madrid B team. The friendship is not bad.

Benitez took a sip of wine against the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling and whispering: "Did you not read the news? Bosque was the acting head coach for two months, I haven't been in Real Madrid anymore ."

"So what team are you coaching now?"

Aldridge knows Benitez will coach Valencia and Liverpool in the future, but it is still unclear where this product is now.

Before returning to London in 1994, Benitez coached Real Madrid B team, the record is very good.

Benitez said in a somewhat bleak tone: "Valladolid invited me to coach, and I went, and was fired."

"Not a good record?"

"It's not unsatisfactory, it's very bad, more than half of the league, the team bottomed in La Liga."

Benitez took another sip of wine, as if he had come here today to relax.

Aldrichto asked with his chin: "Are you unemployed now? Nowhere to go?"

Benitez replied: "Yes, there are several invitations from the West B team."

"Oh, did you come to London on vacation? Then go back to Spain in the summer to take over the team?"

Benitez suddenly straightened his chest, staring straight at Aldridge, and looked at Aldridge slightly hairy.

"I don't understand a question."

"What's the problem?"

"Aldrich, than tactics, I don’t think I will lose to you. I should have an advantage over you in terms of age and seniority, but why did you coach the team so successfully? My team is terrible? I I even think that the players I coach are not as good as the guys of Real Madrid B team. They simply don’t understand what I’m talking about. It’s harder for them to perform tactics than to let Niu Fei go to the sky. But Millwall’s overall coordination is so smooth. Too much outstanding personal ability, why can your tactics be implemented in the team? Is it because you bought a group of obedient children?"

Aldridge chuckled and leaned on the sofa to start drinking.

"Why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing. I think you've just suffered a setback, and you have been mentally hit. Maybe you will find the reason when you calm down."

"You still tell me."

Benitez stared at Aldridge, his eyes shining brightly.

Aldridge asked enthusiastically: "How many years have you been in Real Madrid?"

"A player or a coach?"

"coach."

"Eight years."

"Yeah, you have been in Real Madrid for eight years. At the beginning, you coached the U19 echelon, then the B team. Many players on the team know you, respect you, what you say, the players listen to you, you also understand The characteristics of the players, it is not a problem to polish the team. The players can of course implement your tactical ideas, so you can lead the B team to play well in the West B League. But you went to a new team, those players Who is your bird? People have a set of styles of play, I think you will make a big deal of reform after you go, let’s not say whether the characteristics of the players can adapt to your tactics, I think the team will not care if it encounters difficulties. What do you say, kick back the set that they are familiar with, and then there will definitely be a conflict between you and the player, the team's record can be imagined."

Benitez opened his eyes wide and asked, "Are you also paying attention to La Liga?"

Aldridge whispered, "I don't have time to worry about that leisure. What attracts me to La Liga? Oh, I will take a look at the Spanish national derby. Others, I'm really not interested."

Benitez touched the top of his semi-bald head and sighed: "You are basically right. I don't understand. As long as the players execute my tactical ideas, I know their ability is like that. , But at least relegation is not a problem, how can it be the bottom of the league? I’m doing it for them."

"I think you are too idealized, so to speak, the most advanced tactics are not suitable for all teams. S-level teams can use the best tactics, A-level teams may not be able to use, B-level **** Teams are even less useful. Some teams can only play two wings and fly, some teams can only play defensive counterattacks, and some teams can only play long pass rushes, not you take a set of advanced tactics The system can be applied to all teams, which is often counterproductive. The right tactics, suitable players, the combination of the two is the best, and basically the latter determines the former, you can only go according to the players Develop tactics instead of using tactics to transform most players. Unless you have no pressure for points, you also have absolute authority on the team. Even so, you need players to cooperate."

Aldrich's understatement gave Beniteston a feeling of indoctrination, and his eyebrows spread out when he looked down.
