The Young Lion

The Aya Sumy Park stadium was dead, and the Middlesbrough fans' carnival came to an abrupt end. What was going on and off was the crazy roar of Millwall Lions fans.

No one thought that Nedved would appear at the front of the penalty area, no one!

In the first nine rounds of the league, in the eight games Nedved played, he honestly played around the middle circle, and more retreated to participate in the defense rather than boldly inserted.

Even Brian Robson, who studied Millwall's tactics, did not list Nedved as one of the game's terminators.

But when Nedved scored the equalizing goal, Brian Robson bit his teeth and closed his eyes.

He could clearly hear the scream of Aldridge kneeling up to the sky not far away, and the roar of the stubborn face of that blond hair was not a vent, but a declaration of victory!

Brian Robson said silently in his heart: You are wrong, boss, this is not a Millwall that cannot be underestimated, but a Millwall that will impact English football in the future!

Twenty minutes after Middlesbrough's overtaking, Brian Robson saw a calm and dominant Millwall.

Not only suddenly accelerated the pace of the game, making Middlesbrough exhausted on the defensive end, but also achieved a tactical victory!

Such oppression and purpose, as well as the strength of tactical execution, Brian Robson has been in football for twenty years, only seen in the top teams.

After Nedvěd scored, his teammates rushed towards him from all directions, but he snarled his jersey and ran towards the coach's coach seat.

The focus of his sight was Aldridge kneeling on the sidelines and screaming in the sky. Although Aldridge was quickly hugged by the coaches of the coaching staff and drowned in the crowd, Nedved was still heading towards Aldrich Bian ran all the way.

In Nedved's mind came a little bit of a brief relationship with Aldridge.

Just less than two years ago, when he was in Sparta Prague, the coach of the team also said that he was a player with no future and was a player who had to rely on luck to sit on the Spartan bench in Prague.

Those words have always been engraved in the heart of Nedved and are the source of his active hard training every day, but he is still only a substitute in Sparta Prague.

In the summer of 1994, when a club was willing to offer him a "high price" of more than one million pounds, even he felt that the club was joking with him.

After coming to London, Aldridge had a knee-long talk with Nedved.

Nedved has never seen such a young head coach, nor has he seen a head coach as serious as Aldridge.

Aldrich not only carefully analyzed his strengths and weaknesses for Nedved, but also came up with a meticulous training plan, clearly telling Nedved that as long as he trains hard, he will return what his future will be. .

He is by no means an engineer, he has extremely high talent and talent, although his position is in the midfield, but he can play the key to decide the game.

Nedved had been waiting patiently. Aldridge did what he asked him to do, even if he wanted to try to participate in the attack forward, but he was restraining without Aldridge’s permission. Deep down, he understood that Aldridge did everything for his own good.

Just after conceding the ball just now, Aldridge's tactical arrangement is very clear. To equalize the score depends on neither the left attack nor the right attack. The final finisher must be a character that the other party cannot think of, that is him: Pavel ·Nedved!

Nedved did it. The moment he did it, he had forgotten everything.

From the middle of the Middlesbrough penalty area to the front of Aldridge, Nedved reached out to grab Aldridge’s suit and shouted with excitement: "Boss, did you see? Did you see? We did it! We done!"

Aldridge hugged him fiercely, repeating a word constantly.

"Good job! Good job!"

The other Millwall players also rushed over and surrounded Nedved and Aldridge who were hugging together.

It wasn't until the head referee came over to give a warning that their celebration ended.

Aldrich shouted to the boys who walked back to halftime: "Come on! Beat them again!"

Brian Robson, who heard him not far away, was dumbfounded.

The scoreboard has reached 91 minutes, and the fourth official delayed one minute before playing the stoppage time: 4 minutes.

With less than 3 minutes left, does Aldridge still want to take away a victory away?

But when Brian Robson looked back at his players, he found that Middlesbrough's players were downcast and their morale fell to the bottom.

Seeing victory slipping through the fingers, the mental gap can be imagined.

Millwall evenly equalized the score. At this moment, his fighting spirit was high, and it seemed that he had forgotten his exhaustion on the court. It was the eleven male lions!

Brian Robson shook his head. He didn't want a short-term crash to be reversed.

Three defensive players were put on the floor in one breath. Middlesbrough spent the time in the backcourt after kicking off.

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.

The first round of the tenth round of the Premier League: Middlesbrough vs Millwall ended with a 2:2 score, and the two teams shook hands.

Although both teams have earned a league point, but the spirit, Millwall players have learned more from this game than Middlesbrough.

Brian Robson and Aldridge walked towards each other. After the two shook hands, the probe whispered in the other's ear.

"Mr. Hall, this game made me look at Millwall and you, and your team has an enviable future."

"Brian, today you let me learn a lot, thank you. Next year I will be waiting for you at the Lion's Cave Stadium, when we can sit down and have a drink."

"It's a word."

"good luck."

The two coaches left each other after a smile, but the smile on Robson's face was slightly bitter.

Aldrich can't say that this moment is a breeze, but can only say that he has just experienced a ups and downs battle and has harvested the results he wants, and he feels a kind of heartfelt feeling.

When passing through the interview area, the routine interview after the TV broadcast game is also waiting for Aldridge.

Although Millwall was the top of the League One before the game, the public did not like Millwall’s road trip. Most of them thought that they would suffer a loss like visiting Tranmere, but after the 90-minute battle, Millwall The fight came back with a draw, keeping the top spot in the Premier League. Although the points gap was shortened by the team behind it, it is clear that the team that is currently in the top spot in the Premier League is not Millwall.

"Mr. Hall, how did you feel about a draw at Aya Sumy Park Stadium? Can you comment on the performance of Middlesbrough and Millwall?"

Aldridge shook his head with a smile: "Unbelievable, too incredible, Millwall’s performance today is impeccable, we played a great game, maybe this is only the first league game, but Knowing that Millwall is still very young, Middlesbrough? They perform very well, showing a strong style at home, they will not make mistakes on the court, they will control the game rhythm well, except for being beaten by Millwall In addition to scoring two goals, it is also impeccable. They are still the best team in the Premier League, and I am sure that Middlesbrough has always been the biggest favorite to win this season."

Aldridge almost forgot to praise his team. He finally remembered his style when facing the media: to praise his opponents generously is actually to praise himself better.

"Schneider's own goal once left the team behind, what do you want to say about that ball?"

"It was just an ordinary goal drop, nothing else matters. Undoubtedly, Schneider was one of the best players on the field today. He scored for his teammates in assists in the first and second half. The performance is worth cheering for the whole team."

After a short interview, Aldridge returned to the visiting team's locker room. All the team's players have changed their clothes and prepared to return. Looking at their various smiles, Aldridge said loudly before leaving: "Hey, your performance today It is commendable, just like today, with confidence and determination to win, this will continue to play!"

"Okay, boss!"

The men responded with a smile, and then left Aya Sumy Park with Audridge.

On the way back, Aldridge was wearing headphones to listen to music and was in a good mood.

It’s been a long time to remember the performance of the team in the game. Although it’s just a game, Millwall’s fighting spirit and tenaciousness in adversity are really commendable. For a player like Nedved, Aldridge I really want to keep him for life. There is no doubt that now this group of Millwall players, Nedved can fully become the lion of the mad lion!

On such a beautiful day, Aldridge was upset by a phone call at night.

"Aldridge, congratulations on having a draw on the road today. I watched the video of the game and Millwall is impressive."

Aldrich lay on the sofa, holding his landline phone in his arms.

The Scottish accent in the earpiece really upset him, but he couldn't hate it.

"Why don't you talk?"

"Alex, let's be straight, which player do you want to ask about the possibility of transfer?"

There was a silence on the other end of the phone.

"Brian heard that Larson might flow into the transfer market."

"Do you want Larson?"

"Manchester United needs a new striker."

"How long can you give him?"

"What do you mean?"

"Larsen has only played in the Premier League. He used to be in the Netherlands. Can he adapt to the Premier League and Manchester United? It all takes time, doesn't it? How long can you give him the adaptation period?"

The other end of the phone fell silent.

Aldridge did not refuse Ferguson in one gulp. Instead, he retreated, trying to dispel Ferguson's thoughts.

Manchester United needs a striker, and it is definitely a striker who can fight. This season's Blackburn has been crazy, and Hiller continued the god-level performance of last season.

"Have you rejected me?"

Aldridge smiled bitterly at the ceiling.

"If Manchester United pays five million pounds and gives Larson a contract with a weekly salary of more than 20,000, what's the use of me refusing? Strongly leaving him will only cause problems within the team, will he?

"Five million pounds? How dare you make a price!"

"Why? I bought it for millions of pounds, would I sell it for two or three million?"

"Forget it, for five million, I would rather be killed by Keegan's bastard."

"That's right, Andy Cole proved himself in the Premier League, and Manchester United don't hesitate to incur the bill."
