The Young Lion

On the afternoon of the match between Millwall and Manchester United, the fans entered the field early to prepare for the match. As the first home game of the new season, the fans will release all the enthusiasm they have accumulated throughout the summer.

The small Lion’s Cave Stadium has undergone a simple renovation in the summer. Although it is planned to move into the new stadium two years later, all of Millwall’s games are now the focus. Although the stadium is small, it represents Millwall’s image.

Now the Lion’s Cave Stadium is small and exquisite. The top turf looks green and particularly eye-catching. The seats of the stadium stands are mainly blue. The seats of the main stands are printed with a huge blue lion pattern based on the seat color. Visual beauty.

Today, almost no red can be seen in the stands. At a glance, there is a blue ocean. The Red Devils fans have fewer than two thousand people here today, and they are also arranged in remote corners.

Before the game started, fans sang new songs after the mad lion won the Champions League, and major fan organizations also raised banners and flags.

On the side of the main stand, a large ear cup was painted on the curtains of the whole stand. On both sides of the big ear cup were the hand-drawn drawings of the Millwall players. The bottom is the serious half-length of Aldridge Like, the arms around the chest are firm.

In the other stands, the flag of the crazy lion was constantly being waved by fans, men and women, young and old, **** fans of all ages held up the self-made slogans to support the team, they uniformly wore Millwall’s new season home jersey today, at least let the jersey sponsor Shangle blossomed, and Millwall's commercial value quickly manifested before the start of the new season. In less than a month, jersey sales exceeded one million.

In the top seat of the VIP seat, Arthur and Puskas are still reviewing the Champions League final three months ago.

Puskas reunited with his old friend Stefano in that game. Not only were the two legendary when they played, but they also became good coaches after retiring. Puskas talked about that game with coach's eyes. In the wonderful part, he admitted to Arthur that the team's technical and tactical play tuned by Aldridge was impressive and set off a trend.

Arthur listened to the joy in his heart, but was very modest in his mouth, thinking that Audridge was lucky, and finally won Real Madrid by penalty shootout.

Yi Wen sat next to him and smiled secretly. No one who knew Arthur knew how stinky he was. He hung Aldridge in his mouth every day. It was not the eldest son with more than one billion dollars who was most proud of him. The youngest son, Aldridge, who led the team to the top.

On the side of the court, the team mascot, the blue lion Leo naughtily interacted with the audience on the sidelines. When Aldridge entered the field, the fans on the sidelines stood up and applauded him. Thank you again for his team Contribution.

He not only made Millwall an important part of the English football map, but also made the fans behind Millwall proud and proud. The team's brilliance and the fans' inner pride, this is the football club In one of the public meanings that should be carried in the first place, Millwall achieved this, enabling these fans to gain happiness and pride while supporting the team.

Aldrich came early, he didn’t need to mobilize everyone in the locker room every game, the players are not horses, if you don’t whip, it won’t run...

If there is enough time, if Aldridge does not sit in the stands with reporters or friends and chat, then he will sign a group photo with the fans to meet their requirements as much as possible.

Today, he smiled and signed the fans on the sidelines. Those fans will hand him jerseys, hats, commemorative books and other things for him to sign. At the same time, he will say two words of blessing or pat him. The arm encouraged him.

"Boss, save me!"

Aldridge just signed a fan and suddenly looked up, he seemed to hear De Rossi's voice.

Turning his head, he did not see De Rossi, but he saw the mascot Leo leaning his head near the stands not far away. The ears on the head of the little lion were held by a young child fan in his arms. Clenched.

Aldridge's face suddenly appeared a charming smile.

Deserve it!

"Boss, I don't want to hurt him hard, help me!"

De Rossi's voice came from the lion's head, and Aldridge smiled at the smiling young couple: "Does this kid like him very much?"

The child's father happily said: "He likes to grab things, and he doesn't let go when he catches."

The child's mother said excitedly: "Mr. Hall, today is my son's birthday. He is two years old. We gave him a Millwall jersey. I hope you can sign it."

Aldrich readily agreed that after taking the pen from the young mother, he walked in front of his father and said to them after thinking about it, "Please wait a moment."

He turned and walked into the player's tunnel, and De Rossi shouted behind him: "Hey, boss, you help!"

Aldridge came back quickly, with a small football in his hand. He walked in front of the couple and smiled and asked, "What's the name of this angel?"

Mother excitedly said: "Ben Sen!"

Aldridge wrote a pen on football: May Benson grow up healthy and happy! Aldridge.

He placed the football in front of Little Benson for more than ten seconds. Little Benson was really attracted to the attention and let go of Leo the Lioness. After De Rossi was saved, he immediately took two steps back, fearing that he would be trapped again. .

"Mr. Hall, thank you very much."

"No, I want to thank you for being able to see Benson here and make me happy."

Aldridge signed his name on the big children's jersey on Benson and waved goodbye to the couple.

Turning to the coach seat, Aldridge still smiled. He was not in a pretentious manner. He was able to see the young couple take the children to the ball to see the ball at ease, which really made him feel strangely satisfied.

This was impossible to see three years ago, four years ago, five years ago!

At that time, Millwall’s stands were not safe. Mo said that children, even teenagers, might be in danger because of the small disturbances that often occur in the stands.

The atmosphere in the stadium is still hot. From the time Aldridge came in to sit down, in more than ten minutes, the singing in the stands had not stopped. The waves of flags were rising one after another. Millwall’s home field was indeed small, but Entering here seems to have entered a different world, where you can appreciate the purest charm of watching football.

When Ferguson walked past the sidelines, Aldridge took the initiative to greet each other.

Ferguson's face was not very pretty.

In the past three years, at Lion's Cave Stadium, Manchester United's memories have never been good.

In addition to the first year, Manchester United finally reversed Newcastle United to win the league title, but also thanks to Millwall’s last minute sniper against Keegan’s team, and that year, the Manchester United host and guest did not beat Millwall in the two rounds of the league. , Was also eliminated by Millwall in the cup.

Cause and effect cycle, just three and a half months ago, in this field, Manchester United was snipered by Millwall, allowing Arsenal to achieve a 10-point fall in the winter and the final reversal of the final season!

But this is not the reason why Ferguson is upset.

He deliberately talked with Aldridge on the sidelines for a while today.

"I thought you would be happy now."

Aldridge and Ferguson stand very close. The conversation between the two is relatively low, which is a kind of whispering in public.

Ferguson frowned: "I thought I would be happy, but if Millwall can sell to Manchester United at a low price, I can be happy."

"What does it have to do with us? Your question with Edwards, don't touch me. Furthermore, you look at your quotation, 3 million for Fannie, 4 million for Lampard... if I disclose these quotations Give Fleet Street, ha ha, Manchester United may be a laughing stock."

Aldridge was outspoken.

The most annoying thing is that Larson still bought 15 million pounds last year, and this year it has become 12 million pounds. Millwall did not reply, and he silently told Manchester United: take his own shame!

Ferguson asked softly, "Do you sell people in winter?"

"No! Millwall doesn't do business in winter."

"In the winter, Manchester United can offer a normal price, or a higher price."

"No, this is our principle. It has nothing to do with the bid. Our season plan is complete, unless there is a big change in the winter, but we can solve it internally. At least I will not recruit in the winter. Let go of any planned players in winter."

Aldridge replied firmly.

Ferguson said to be angry, but he couldn't get angry.

Does Manchester United have money?

To make a joke, Edwards and his son, who sold pork, made at least several hundred million pounds through Manchester United, and then converted Manchester United's current share price, it is estimated that they can make more than one billion pounds.

Unfortunately, Ferguson and Edwards have a bad relationship. Edwards has always been the target of Manchester United fans. Ferguson is the coordinator in the middle, but Edwards stingy, especially after spending a lot of money to introduce Stam last season, Manchester United actually In the single season, the four majors are empty, and the process is also very shocking. The advantage at the end of the half of the league is so large that Arsenal snatched the championship at the last moment. Edwards has a very weak word for Ferguson.

The transfer budget for Ferguson is less, and the summer supplementary lineup has more York.

Just looking at Manchester United's 11-man lineup, there is not much that can be picky. Perhaps Elvin is indeed old, but he has a Giggs rush in front of him. As long as Elvin is defensive, it is enough.

However, to compete for the league championship, it is not enough to rely on 11 people alone, which is far from enough, especially in the face of a strong opponent such as Millwall, a main force and a substitute.

Recently Manchester United is the focus of the United Kingdom, because Manchester United is caught in the deal.

Edwards wants to sell Manchester United to media tycoon Murdoch. The deal between the two has reached the point of signing, so the crowds are so crowded that the fans are fiercely opposed. This is an important reason for Ferguson's unhappiness.

Such a turmoil will undoubtedly affect the team, but he does not exclude Manchester United from changing the boss. As long as he guarantees his coaching status, and the new boss is willing to invest, Murdoch is strong. No matter what happens, it is impossible to follow Edward from pork. I am like a wealthy slave.

Ferguson also didn't want to go to the board of directors every season to make a big deal about the transfer budget.

"Can this deal succeed? Do you have any special news channels?"

Ferguson asked in a low voice, staring closely at Aldridge's eyes.

The Hall family has a cooperative relationship with Murdoch. Sky Sports and Barnett have 20% of the shares. At that time, tens of millions of shares were invested, and now they are at least worth more than 500 million pounds.

Aldrich shook his head and said: "My family can't get any news from Murdoch, let alone that we have no core interests in cooperation with each other. In fact, my elder brother turned his back on Murdoch since last year, the two No longer speaking, the shareholders' meeting is always sent representatives to attend, if you need to communicate, all through the middleman."

Ferguson laughed twice, and didn't understand what the rich people thought. Sometimes they were just like children.

Aldridge finally added: "But you still have a psychological preparation, I don't think this deal will be successful."

"why?"

Ferguson just said that the reason why there is money in winter is that he thinks that before the arrival of winter, Manchester United will exchange for a new boss. The new boss is coming, and it is a rich gold owner. That must not be paid tens of millions to the team. Well please the fans.

Aldridge shrugged and said: "This incident is in full swing, and the people's opposition is too strong, which will directly affect the government's decision."

Voting politics, whether the government does it or not, depends on whether it can win over the people.

Ferguson shook his head and said, "Manchester United can all issue shares on the market. Why can't they change their boss?"

"Look and see, anyway, don't be too optimistic."

Aldrich shook hands with the opponent, turned and walked back to the coach seat, the game was about to begin.
