The Young Lion

In the morning, Henry went to the training base to train alone. After the morning training, he went to the periphery of the training base and signed a photo with the enthusiastic fans. The fans knew that Henry was going to meet the team tomorrow. Many fans were close. Cheer on Henry when he contacts him.

The team went to Asia just to prepare for the battle, but not to compete for the championship. Henry heard it and laughed away. There is nothing to fight for the warm-up game. What a good thing to fight for the new season?

After returning home for lunch at noon, Henry changed into casual clothes, drove out, and headed north to the area on the south side of the Thames on the East Ferry.

He got off the car in the empty and clean parking lot, and he looked around. There is a new high-end hotel under the parking lot under renovation. It is a hotel with integrated entertainment and the property belongs to the Millwall Club.

The surrounding environment is pleasant, fresh and modern, and Henry turned to look at the direction of the Thames, and he was amazed.

Millwall's new stadium, Lion King Stadium is in sight!

The brand new stadium looks from the outside macro, like a giant beast, with a strong metal atmosphere.

The stadium is not open to the outside world, but there are already a large number of tourists and local fans visiting and shopping here.

Fan souvenir shops are hot. Adults and children come here without empty hands. Some fans wear new jerseys, and some young fans hold blue lion toys that symbolize the image of the club.

The club history museum is lined up with a long line, and tourists from other places want to visit.

Only a small part of this club museum mentions Millwall’s history before 94, most of them are only some old photos, the club’s landmark records, such as the club’s history coach, a handful of stars, the game content is almost No, because before 1994, Millwall had no championship.

The history after 94 years is the selling point of the museum, and it is also the key content that many tourists come here to browse.

From the photos that Aldridge appeared at the press conference when he was 18 years old, until Millwall's triumphant king came to Europe in 2000, the glory created during this period has countless stories.

People can enjoy wonderful on-the-ground photography here, can see Millwall's lineup information every year, there is also a brief introduction to Millwall's tactical formation each season, as well as the emergence of new stars or players with exceptional performances during the season .

Anyone who visits here can watch the replay of the goals they want to watch, such as each goal in the two UEFA Champions League finals, those classic moments during the focus of the war, you can choose the favorite Millwall star here, and You can choose the most ornamental goals, etc. There are not many interactive activities in the museum.

Incidentally, the museum also sells personal collections of each star, books and pictures, etc., which can satisfy the collection hobby of many fans.

Henry slowly walked towards the main entrance of the Lion King Stadium, and suddenly he couldn't relax easily, and he seemed to have to pay high respect to this new stadium.

Millwall’s bars, restaurants, and shops are all around, surrounding this stadium to form a business circle. All this, no one thought of it six years ago.

When he saw all this material become a reality, Henry had to be more pleased with his boss, and he had a deeper loyalty to the club he played for.

The main entrance of the stadium was closed. Henry talked with the security guard and was released. He walked in. There were people on the stadium. Andrew and the BBC program crew were ready on the stadium. In this exclusive interview, the Millwall Club was obtained. Agree, the BBC will interview Henry at the Lion King Stadium.

Henry walked into the court along the player's tunnel, he seemed to walk from one world to another.

In fact, the stadium is a stadium, and the internal structure will not have too many alternative designs. The Lion King Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 people, has three levels of stands. At this level, Henry should be no stranger, whether he is playing on behalf of Millwall or in France. In the national team, he has become accustomed to a stadium of this size.

But after stepping into the Lion King Stadium, he was full of seriousness, stepping on the green top grass, step by step, step by step toward the center of the stadium.

He didn't greet people, the BBC film crew had already started recording, and filmed exactly how Henry walked into the stadium.

Henry stood in the middle of the stadium, turned his head and looked to the left. On the empty stand, the seats formed a huge name through paint colors: Millwall FC.

He turned his head to look at the right side of the stand. On the side of the stand, the color of the seat set off a huge pattern, the lion on the Millwall team emblem!

Henry withdrew his eyes and closed his eyes, his arms flat and raised his head, where it seemed that even the air was different.

People can't help but burst into blood.

Unable to start fantasizing.

Here, under the attention of 60,000 people, Millwall and Mad Lion's roar echoed in their ears. How many challenges would they face? Henry, what kind of legend can he write here?

When Henry finished feeling the new feeling brought by this top stadium, he turned around and walked to the BBC film crew. Halfway through, Andrew threw a football in front of Henry. He didn’t dare to kick it. His stinky foot Law, in case of a kick, it will be out of the picture.

Henry naturally picked up the football with his toes, turned the ball up to the front of the BBC film crew, and finally stopped the ball on his shoulder, shrugged with a smile, the ball bounced, and he reached out to catch it.

The interview was with a female reporter. She interviewed Aldridge five years ago. In the past four years, she only interviewed Aldridge twice, because Aldridge’s frequency of interviews is now only once a year, but she can do it on weekdays. Get many opportunities to face Millwall stars face-to-face.

After the interview started, the first question Henry faced was: How do you feel now?

"Unparalleled, if you are a player, standing in such a stadium, you will naturally feel my mood, especially here is your home court."

"Compared to the previous Lion's Cave Stadium?"

"Of course it’s not a level. I won’t lie about how desirable the Lion’s Cave Stadium is. We have left good memories there, but the club is going to develop. The Lion King Stadium is what we need and meets our needs. The strength of the team is undoubtedly, here, it can more stimulate our motivation and desire to fight, making us more proud to fight for the team, for the fans, for ourselves."

...

Although the main content of the interview is about Henry, it is also a propaganda for the Lion King Stadium to create momentum here, a bit deliberately creating a mysterious atmosphere.

Henry tells the story of him and Millwall, including before joining Millwall, Aldridge "starred" at his history a long time ago, from joining to success, all of which are bit by bit, including him Achievements in the French national team.

In the 1998 World Cup, Henry only rotated players, but scored 3 goals. It can't be said that he has made a decisive contribution. At least he made a great contribution.

At the end of the European Cup, he also scored 3 goals, including key goals in the semi-finals, played the top of the entire competition, and was selected as the best team in the European Cup.

Combined with his performance in the club, it is no surprise that he became the hottest and most sought-after star in the transfer market this summer.

But on the question of the French national team, the BBC interview is more acute: who do you think is more important than Zidane? Who contributed the most?

Henry is a bit of a distinguished character, a little silent, he can use the performance to drive the team, but he is difficult to become the locker room leader, or a team of spiritual leaders, in Millwall, he He rarely expresses personal opinions. When discussing the theme of football in the locker room, he basically does not speak, but the locker room must have the ability to speak boldly, in a sense, the leader of the team’s leader. This role is played by Southgate. , And did a very good job. On the court, the leader with the strongest fighting will and spiritual appeal is Nedved, which is called the team soul!

Henry is not the leader or the soul of the team at Millwall, nor is he naturally the French national team.

He is a younger generation and, likewise, is not the tactical core of the French national team.

Whether it is Yakai's tactical change that leads France to win the World Cup for the first time, or Lemaire continues its glory to win the European Cup, the core of the French national team is Zidane. Formation, tactics, no matter how changed, no matter how flexible, are all around Zidane of.

Henry is very self-knowledged and confessed to the camera that he cannot match Zidane. The soul of the French team is Zidane.

Whether you are the first important protagonist can be seen in training, competition, coaching attitude, coaching and tactical settings, etc., and you can feel it.

To put it another way, this is also the sorrow of the striker in the new era. The striker is the easiest character to become popular. It can produce a cross-generational European football in the midfield. The mature tactical system has gradually made the striker's importance start to decline. The dominant and inferior characters in the game are the core characters most talked about by people, often not forwards.

Perhaps only Brazil, which had barely encountered strong enemies in 2002, seemed to have won the world with an invincible trident. Since then, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Germany have either won by defense or simply pass control of the forward. Formation.

The interview was conducted lightly and pleasantly, but in the end, the interview host still threw out the issues that people were curious about.

For a month, he encountered the renewal problem with Millwall and the temptation in the transfer market.

Henry listened to Andrew's suggestion and didn't talk about what his agent encouraged him to transfer to Juventus, but just expressed his position.

"People always say that the best players play for a great team, so that the best can become great. When I come to Millwall, people rarely say that Millwall is great The club’s strength changes every year, because there are many recognized stars who leave in the summer. In the summer of 1998, it was a very large period of star departure, and I came to the club and started to heal. Two years later, people Start talking about where I will go, Madrid, Turin, Milan, just as in the past few years, people have always talked about Henrik going to Manchester in summer, Milan, Barcelona, ​​Pavel are always like this, contacting many top clubs Together, it won't be now, because everyone knows that if you want to own Henrik or Pavel, there is only one possibility, that is to buy this club. Many giants have sent me invitations, which makes me feel honoured because of the proof My strength is recognized, but I don’t want to leave Millwall, not only because I have changed the role of the court position here, but also gained honor. I also want to play for a great team, who doesn’t want to? , I feel that playing a great club does not satisfy my desire. Staying in Millwall, with the boss, with the teammates, with the fans, all of us, work together to make Millwall into a great club I think that such an achievement should be greater than great, and I am sure that we are enjoying this process now."
