The Young Lion

Who is the biggest player in the Millwall Club?

Even when Aldridge faces the public, he will push the team's achievements to the players and put himself in the position of a humble beneficiary.

But all fans who love Millwall think that the most important person in the team is the young coach.

This is probably related to the team’s restructuring policy that began two and a half years ago. Millwall never introduced the famous stars. They didn’t have that kind of appeal, but under the careful adjustment of Aldridge, the team became a star. Gathering, they come from different countries, and together they played a mercury-like football, which is full of rhythm and beauty like poetry.

Aldridge had to tirelessly refuse a series of enticing advertisements and commercial contracts on the phone with Andrew every month.

Luxury goods, fashion brands, from high-end cars to watch phones, sportswear to video games, etc., Aldridge's loyalty to Armani exceeds the imagination of all commercial companies interested in working with him.

In fact, Aldridge just doesn't want to appear in commercial propaganda excessively. How can he be covered in bad luck if he hasn't succeeded?

Even Armani’s contract, he somewhat regretted it, but he felt that the job was needed, he was wearing a suit anyway, there was nothing wrong with wearing a decent, but the advertiser’s persuasion followed: brother, you can wear a block watch, It is okay to wear a pair of our brand leather shoes, belts, ties, and glasses!

Aldridge pushed away all contracts, at least he felt that he should now focus all of his attention on the court, and could not guide the players to think in other directions.

If he had advertising signs all over his body, then after his players saw it, they learned that Aldridge had no qualification to preach.

However, the players accept the advertising contract, but he does not object. As long as it does not violate the discipline of the team, training is late, and training is not serious, then the players get some off-court income through the achievements on the field, which is also a club favorite, like Pull Players like Nelsen, Nedved, and Schneider are favored by advertisers in their respective countries, so his commercial influence will be partly transferred to Millwall's influence.

The reason why Aldridge is more popular than the players is also because he has a singer girlfriend.

The hot girl group is gaining popularity in Europe and is about to hit the North American market. They will set off an entertainment storm wherever they go. It is against this background that once Melanie has a topic with Audric in interviews or performances, she will let Austria The popularity of Derwich and her suddenly increased. This mutual effect is exactly what Victoria and Beckham imitated. Especially after the promotion of England coach Hoddle, Beckham became a new one. The England England international, and because Victoria and Melanie are in the same combination, Beckham and Aldridge are in the Premier League, although the four will not appear together in public, the entertainment chemistry reaction caused by the subtle relationship It was really earth-shattering, and undoubtedly made the popularity of the four people soar.

But Aldridge didn’t care about anything other than football. He declined all entertainment interviews. When he appeared at the press conference, he dealt with any topic other than football in silence. Because of this, he and Melanie The topics that can be created are becoming scarcer, and the stories between Beckham and Victoria are more and more.

Compared with Aldridge's spring breeze, Millwall's opponents will make the next match, their coach's life in London is not very good, and even some words are hard to say.

Previously, due to the Cup, the same city derby was rescheduled in the Millwall League against Arsenal, a neighbor of North London.

The make-up was in the middle of the week. Aldridge attended the press conference on the evening of the previous day. He finished his training of players and held a pre-match meeting in the tactical conference room of the hotel without changing his clothes. He came to the scene wearing a blue sportswear.

At every Millwall press conference, the scene is full of people. They have even more attention than Manchester United. Of course, this is limited to the Premier League.

After sitting down, I drink a sip of water and moisten my throat. Aldridge just said a lot to the players at the meeting just now, because he attaches great importance to this supplementary match with Arsenal, which is different from other teams. There is no change. Arsenal can be said to be the only team whose primary structure has changed little in the study of the Premier League opponents, but the play has been turned upside down. Therefore, he must make the players realize that Arsenal is not the impression. 'S boring Arsenal'.

The reporters in the audience stared at Aldridge with dazzling eyes. After he drank the water, someone raised his hand to ask questions.

Steve Howard, a columnist for The Sun, who likes to make eyeballs, raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Hall, what do you think about the need to replay the FA Cup tie? Do you have any advice to the FA? What about the proposed reform?"

When the reporters heard his questions, they suddenly showed a heartless grin.

Aldridge sighed softly and said: "If you come here today to ridicule Alsena Wenger, then the conference will end. I am not interested in evaluating the comments of my colleagues. After all, it is not directed against Millwall. I Respect the power of other coaches to express their opinions."

Steve Howard shrugged dullly and stopped asking.

Wenger recently became the focus of Premier League news because he complained about the schedule of the Premier League, and at the same time attacked the FA Cup tie to replay the system, which made him a target, Ferguson mercilessly sneered, thinking he was a foreigner When I came here, my **** hadn't sat hot, so I started to slap the tradition here.

The media's chasing and slamming also made Wenger deeply aware of the incompetence of Fleet Street. He naturally became cautious, and even such excessive caution made Fleet Street very dissatisfied with him.

The more professional "Times" reporter David Miller is not here to run lace news. He came to listen to Aldrich's insights, so he raised his hand calmly and asked: "Mr. Hall, I heard You have a good personal relationship with Wenger? Are you still vacationing in France together in summer?"

Probably his question is ambiguous. What is Aldridge and Wenger going on vacation together?

The weird smiles on the faces of other reporters have not diminished.

Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, I went to France in the summer, but there, through the introduction of Mr. Wenger, I met many excellent coaches in France. We watched the game together and discussed football topics. I don’t think it’s worth your weird smile.”

David Miller looked at his colleagues in some tabloids with disgust. He wanted to know the news about football, not the off-the-shelf lace of selling dog meat. He continued to ask: "Since this is the case, then according to you Can we make an objective evaluation of Wenger's knowledge?"

Aldridge touched his nose and smiled, said: "Evaluation? What qualifications do I have to evaluate others? Besides, he is one of my predecessors, I come to evaluate him? That is rude. But I can simply say some facts. , Ten years ago, Graham joined Arsenal. Although Arsenal achieved a period of glory in the past ten years, what are the fans' opinions on Arsenal? Library. Wenger took Arsenal to Arsenal in just one month to let Arsenal Na’s football style has changed. Pay attention to the European ground coordination in your mouth. He changed Arsenal’s training management. The team’s mental outlook has been renewed. In the past, they seemed like a pool of backwaters. They played static football on the court. Now, Their football is more dynamic, beautiful and enjoyable. Wenger is a head coach with profound football knowledge. Do you know? He has spent 25 years researching and experimenting with football ideas and has achieved success in Monaco. I don’t think that Who in England is qualified to judge him and to judge him?"

The reporters looked at each other, there was something wrong with Aldridge's words, there was always a hallucination.

David Miller nodded seriously, but he was very satisfied with Aldridge’s statement, but the Daily Mail reporter Richard, who was sitting behind, frowned and asked, “Mr. Hall, what do you do with Wenger? High evaluation, oh, it is admired, at least I understand it, have you ever thought, he is your opponent, the team he coaches is called Arsenal, is the Derby opponent of Millwall, you should not be punished by you His personal relationship influences his views on him."

Aldridge’s expression remained unchanged, and he replied: “I’m saying this because I’m not affected by my personal relationship. Arsenal has already begun to rebuild, and will soon return to the top ranks of the championship, if I, as well as my players, cannot clearly recognize the potential and changes of Arsenal, then, in the end, Millwall will swallow the bitter fruit of beneath the enemy. I like to seek truth from facts, you don’t think that my devaluation of West Ham is For my own self, I am just telling the truth. I am talking about Arsenal today, and there is no lie."

"Hot contention? Is this season?"

The reporter from Star News interjected and asked.

How far is Arsenal from Millwall? Close to the 30-point gap!

Unless Millwall loses the rest of the game, it is impossible for Arsenal to win.

Aldridge scratched his head and laughed: "This season's Premier League, Arsenal must have no chance. Even if Milwaukee gives up the lead, Manchester United will not agree, Newcastle United will not agree, and Liverpool will not. Will agree, but Arsenal still have the FA Cup to fight for. They are very strong. You see, Arsenal have a complete midfield and backcourt system, and there are Bergkamp in the frontcourt. The summer transfer to Vieira and Pires in their team, and the recent transfer to Arsenal to join Arsenal, Arsenal's lineup structure is very reasonable, which is enough to lay a good foundation for their future."

"Talk about Millwall. The lead in the league is so huge. Will Millwall's focus shift in the next few months? For example, defending the FA Cup and winning the European Cup Winners' Cup?"

"I think the only thing Millwall lacks is experience. Our lineup structure is very young. Although many players have reached the peak age of players, such as Larson and Nedved, Southgate, but our overall It’s still very young, so the pressure and tasks on these players will be very heavy. I hope they can set an example for young players and help young players grow. This is the most important thing. So, in the coming months, I will try to give more young people a chance to exercise. As for the trophy, step by step, we just entered the quarterfinals of the European Cup of Winners. To enter the finals, we must first defeat the strong team of Norway two months later. Bran, as far as the FA Cup is concerned, we will of course try our best, but not losing means that we did not do our best, because sometimes the price of losing a game is that my players have gained experience and got the game. Exercise and improvement is the only way for the club to build for a long time."
