The Young Lion

Millwall players regretted that they should follow Aldridge’s advice, don’t read the next day’s newspapers, or even turn off the TV. Even if it is on, don’t watch football news and shows.

A day ago, the overwhelming prediction of Millwall’s prospect of winning the Triple Crown. One day later, Millwall’s entire team was approved.

Overall, this team is not mature enough and stable.

Individual players were also pulled out to fight one by one.

Piley Dribbling Error: Too independent and too selfish.

Nedved didn't score: no spiritual leader.

Larson and Trezeguet have few chances: the performance is abnormal and there is no bright spot except for a penalty kick and a sports goal.

Schneider: You can't make a beautiful shot except for a cross?

The young Spaniard El Gera was bombarded on the back line: both counterattacks and lost goals are related to him. Although he is more like a thorough center defender than Southgate, Southgate's maturity is He can't compare!

Keller has also been the target of media bombardment. All along, the outside world has felt that Millwall’s goalkeeper is a weakness, because you can’t expect him to show a higher level. He will definitely throw the ball that should be lost. He missed the ball and occasionally missed a few goals.

Needless to say, the head coach Aldridge was naturally mocked and mocked by all parties, just like a falling dog, every passing audience would pick up sticks and head up to his head.

Players will naturally feel resentful when they see the news, and no sensible person can maintain psychological balance.

Aldrich is the most open-minded. This is the usual practice on Fleet Street. There is nothing to be fussed about.

British entertainment media naturally has their own set of secrets for success.

To put it bluntly is touted and suppressed.

If you are red, I will blow you up, blowing you away, so that the eyes of the outside world will be focused on you.

If you are black, I will step on you, stepping on you so painful that you will be stingy with the outside world and your feelings.

People can't live without sages, Fleet Street knows this way, so there is no scruples, behind the hype, I don't know how many reporter editors show sinister sneer: Anyway, you will plant sooner or later!

No player will be perfect, there will be a performance failure, the team will also encounter the battle of Waterloo, this is all news, and Fleet Street is to make this sparse and ordinary football law into an explosive headline.

Fair, objective and ordinary mind? Go away.

Football is also a part of the entertainment culture industry. It is not something that newcomers in the UK can adapt quickly to adapt to this kind of British media, which is faster than turning books.

Aldridge gave leave to the main players, and for one week, the last two rounds of the league, the main players will not play. After they eased their fatigue in April, they will fully impact the final game of the season and enter Wen. Bully Sword refers to the FA Cup.

In the last league game at the end of April, Aldridge held a pre-routine press conference before the expedition.

There are also a lot of reporters coming today. In the past two days, the outside media has fallen like a beast of floods. The reporters want to see if Aldridge will give them some more news.

For example, gaffes, such as some dressing room curtains.

What disappointed Fleet Street was that after the game to tie Leeds United, Millwall's locker room was surprisingly calm.

Even when the players were interviewed, they just said in an official tone: We did not perform well enough, Leeds United played very well, congratulations on their success in relegation.

After leveling Millwall, combined with the results of other games, Leeds United has firmly landed.

This result made Manchester United laugh enough, because in this round, it was their turn to face Leeds United. Although the two teams have hatred, Leeds United will obviously relax in spirit.

"In recent days, Millwall’s training ground has not seen many of the main players. I heard that you have put them on leave. So tomorrow, who will be sent to the St. James Park Stadium? Which players will you send to play? In theory, Millwall still has hope for a championship."

Faced with this problem, Aldridge stared at Richard the Daily Mail reporter.

The other party is also an old friend. Since last season, Millwall has been reported. The press conference has never been absent.

In the past two days, "Daily Mail" even laughed at Millwall, but none of them was written by Richard. Because he is familiar with Millwall and Aldridge, there is no need to stalemate the relationship. At the same time as the news, he has a tendency.

Anyway, anyone can do the job, Richard can’t do it himself, and he wants to continue to hear the news from Aldridge’s mouth.

Aldridge was silent for a moment.

Is there any hope of winning the championship?

Have.

Millwall is based on a two-game victory.

Newcastle United lost at least one tie, which means that Tottenham cannot win at home.

Manchester United scored a maximum of 4 points in the two battles, while Manchester United played Leeds at home and ended up playing Middlesbrough.

Some experts analyzed the probability of Millwall winning the championship, and did not know how he analyzed it. In short, it gave a relatively poor result: 2.78%.

Quite accurate.

Aldridge said lightly: "Since the first round of the league, Millwall has never been in the position of leader, so we have not had too strong psychological gaps. I have said many times that we are a young team , We focus on every game, the growth and improvement of the players is the most important task, no matter what the result of the season, I am satisfied with the team's performance. Also, I repeat, from start to finish, you are Shouting Millwall would win the championship, and now you are pretending that Millwall won the championship and it is a pity. My team and I just want to play every game, nothing more."

"Then tomorrow to challenge Newcastle United, is your plan to train young players?"

"My plan is to let the players play a beautiful game at St. James' Park Stadium and show their strength. This is the goal."

"Can you tell me about tomorrow's starting lineup?"

"Goalkeeper: Bute. Defenders: Zambrotta, Materazzi, Elgra, Capdevila. Midfielders: Gattuso, Vieira, Barak. Forwards: Solskjaer, Van Nistruj, Shevchenko. Do you need the bench list?"

"That's enough, that's enough. Er, excuse me, may I ask, Capdevila, who is Van Nistelrooy?"

The reporters on the stage were a little dazed, and for a moment they could not remember who these two people were, and there was no impression in their minds.

Aldridge shrugged: "Capdevila was a full-back we introduced from Spain last summer. In the past season, he adapted to the team and integrated into our tactical system. I decided to give him a chance to show tomorrow. , Van Nistelrooy came to the team the year before, he played a few times, but recently his performance is getting better and better, I think he has the ability to become a standing player of the first team to enrich the striker strength, tomorrow is also his performance The opportunity. I declare that I have confirmed that the ability and mentality of these two young players are enough to be on the Premier League before they will be included in the starting list. Please do not speculate that my platoon formation is inadequate. It’s a lack of respect for Millwall."

Aldrich’s formation is not a whims or a temporary decision. According to his plan, Capdevila and Fanny should both enter the rotation list at the beginning of April, but this plan was "crazy" by the team. Blocked by the state.

For young players, it is impossible to buy them today, and they will go directly to the starting game tomorrow. Like Lampard, Rio Ferdinand, Capdevila, Mills, etc., Aldridge will give them a season. To integrate into Millwall, because Millwall's tactical system is very different from the English mainstream 442. To adapt to the football philosophy here, it requires a series of processes of learning, understanding, adaptation, exercise and so on.

The youth team and the reserve team are the necessary process before they enter the first team, not to mention they are not very old.

After the press conference, Aldridge returned to the office to clean up the documents and reports given to him by the club's departments, intending to go home to rest, and lead the team to Newcastle tomorrow.

His cell phone rang.

After answering, there was a voice of Scottish accent, a little dissatisfied.

"Aldrich, what the **** are you doing? Did you give up tomorrow's game?"

In addition to focusing on his own team, Ferguson is more concerned about the movement of Newcastle United. In the standings, Manchester United is 3 points behind Newcastle United. Ferguson pinned his hopes on the game where Millwall can snipe Newcastle United. .

But Aldridge announced the starting list one day in advance. Obviously, Millwall did not come up with the strongest lineup, and there are none of the eleven main players!

"I think how do I arrange the starting player, it does not matter to you!"

Aldridge's stiff tone made Ferguson silent for a moment.

"Can you watch Keegan win the championship? He has never looked down on Millwall."

"Rapid action? It doesn't work for me! My main players need to rest. If they are sent to the field, my injury list will definitely increase again. Alex, if you respect me, don't ask me how to command the team, You are out of bounds! Tomorrow, Millwall lost to Newcastle United, not because I wanted to give Keegan a championship. If Millwall defeated Newcastle United, it was not that I sold my life to help Manchester United win the championship!"

The phone was silent for a long time.

"I apologized to you just now. Aldrich, can you give me an answer for the transaction I was talking about?"

"Nedved is not interested in transferring to Manchester United. I don't plan to sell as much money as you can. I have reached an agreement with Stam. If Millwall cannot win the league title this season, Stam will Stay for another season, and you will ask for the price next summer. I will talk to him again. If he regrets to stay, I can only say sorry. Solskjaer can leave, but Manchester United please give a decent offer, you As I said, he went to Manchester United to play the main role. He played at Millwall this season, but scored more goals than Manchester United’s main striker Cole. If you want to reach a deal as soon as possible, we will be happier."

"What is your psychological price?"

"Can you negotiate? My psychological price? I told you directly, is that still the psychological price? Not wordy, £8 million."

"What a joke!"

"Joke? How many goals did Cole you bought 6 million and scored this season? He has scored 11 goals with two rounds left in the league. Bergkamp spent 7.5 million on Arsenal and has scored so far this season. How many goals? 10. My Solskjaer is just a substitute, with 12 goals in the league and 4 goals in the cup. Do you think I’m kidding?"

"Single price, 5 million."

"Then we can't talk about it, 5 million sold a striker who can score nearly 20 goals in a season? Ha ha."

"6 million, can't be higher anymore."

"7 million, don't let us say goodbye, we will still meet friends in the future, but don't mention this deal again."

"Deal!"

When hanging up the phone, Aldridge could hear Ferguson gritting his teeth.
