The Young Lion

After Henry's interview was broadcast, he won the hearts of fans.

This is also crucial to the image of the Millwall Club.

loyalty?

It's really easy to say. Kissing the team logo, saying two words without giving up is never difficult.

But it is really commendable to choose to persevere when faced with temptation and to demonstrate loyalty with action.

Millwall has loyal players, but those who have left over the years are always more than those left!

Aldrich said no, no, no!

That is his attitude, he has the power to express his position.

But what about players?

Whether the player wants to play for this club is the standard for measuring the attractiveness of a club.

Henry remained openly stated that he firmly wanted to accompany Millwall to become a great club. At his current level, this exclusive interview is a signal to tell the outside world that Millwall is not only a club that will not sell stars. After making money, the top stars themselves are also willing to loyal to this club.

With the development of the club, Millwall himself has to adjust the team building strategy and thinking.

In the past, the top stars cultivated by Millwall were always able to retain a few, so Aldridge tended to prepare for the candidate in advance. In the short term, it is necessary to plan ahead. This cycle is very short.

Now, Millwall has laid the ground, from the entrepreneur to the defender, intact, at least it can maintain the strength of the top two teams for at least 2 years, so Aldridge is extremely resolute in Henry's attitude to transfer, Some are even stimulating.

He was tired of the days when he always made wedding dresses for others, why can't I enjoy it myself?

Train one, sell one, train one, sell one...

During this period of hard work and even worry, how much pressure did he put on?

It was forced by the situation before.

Millwall had no money, the club was small, he couldn't keep his mind, and he couldn't satisfy the players.

Even if there is still a gap between the salary they can get from the Serie A club, like Anelka, the salary originally agreed with Lazio in 1999 is a weekly salary of more than 60,000 pounds!

But now, Millwall has some confidence to retain the god.

Aldridge has a lot of ease, less pressure on his shoulders, no need to rebuild the team's tactical system, no need to worry too much about the lineup, a group of meritorious veterans to support the team, and promote young players, forming an ideal cycle And development routines.

He can sit still and enjoy all this.

The team reduced the pressure to be dug into the pillars, and it was Millwall’s turn to take the initiative. If the players go, they don’t need them. It’s not that the players go to the top and fly away.

Millwall summer first team did not have an official signing!

Only a third goalkeeper was promoted from the youth team to the first team: Chris Kirkland.

But for them, this team's brilliant lineup is young, the age group is very reasonable, the old is not too old, only Southgate in the starting lineup is a 30-year-old veteran, 29-year-old Larson, a 28-year-old Nedved, has three generations of young, middle-aged and young, with a reasonable mix of experience and young people's enthusiasm to intensify competition.

The contract renewal is Millwall's achievement this summer, leaving a heavyweight star caught in the scandal is equivalent to an important signing.

At the same time, the transfer of other Premier League players is in full swing.

Manchester United also left the mainstay of the team. There has not been much change in the lineup. Bosnich has exhausted Ferguson’s patience. The Australian goalkeeper and Manchester United have been in trouble. Ferguson bought the French goalkeeper Bartz. The criticized defender's line has also been reformed. Elvin retired to the second line. Sylvester took the position. The young Brown was promoted to the top and partnered with Stam to form a central defender.

Arsenal seemed to have a generous shot, and Luo sent the French striker Vertod, Cameroon full-back Lauren, the two alone, spent more than 20 million pounds, but considering that Petit and Ovimas went away from Camp Nou The gunman's actual investment is not large.

Tottenham not only spent £8 million to buy gold from Millwall, England’s high-defense central defender, but also made a big deal. £11 million was bought by Rebrov of Dynamo Kiev, plus Mad gang took Thatcher and other transactions for 5 million pounds, and North London was indeed wealthy.

Chelsea, internally and externally, began to shrink the money, let alone who bought it, they sold a ticket first, Deschamps, who had worked for a short period of one year, ran out of Spain, and Flo was taken by the superman of the Super League Glasgow, more than 10 million pounds. Going away, Brazilian defender Tome transferred £4.5 million to Sunderland, Petrescu was washed, and £1 million left Stamford Bridge. A year ago, ten million-level shooter Sutton only scored one for Chelsea all season. The ball, 6 million pounds, was sent to the Celtics at a discount. More than ten years later, the outside world laughed at Torres who played iron. In fact, in 2000, the person who was the infamous Shenfeng incarnation of the Iron Guard was Sutton. Also at Stamford Bridge.

This series of sellers, Chelsea must have earned it. Flo alone made almost ten million, and Deschamps also recovered the transfer fee income.

The seller made a little money, and Chelsea bought people again, looking like he was investing heavily.

Hasselbaink was bought for 15 million pounds, and Stanic and Goodjohnson spent more than 10 million pounds. As for the free transfer from Barcelona to Bogard, it is a joke. Chelsea played a total of 12 times, including 8 substitutes, and received a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds. At Chelsea, he became the public enemy of Stamford Bridge. He simply exhausted the contract period and left...

Liverpool looks more shabby than other clubs. More than 25 million pounds were invested in the transfer market last year. This year, not even 10 million pounds. Considering Holier promotes Liverpool rookies. This year is the second year of full coaching. It is reasonable without major changes.

Two flowers bloom on each table.

Millwall’s trip to Asia did not go alone. Originally, G14 members were invited, but because Millwall had once released a pigeon, there was a lack of mutual trust in cooperation, such as Bayern and Inter Milan. In preparation for the summer, lest they be pitted by Millwall again.

Fortunately, Millwall has a good gimmick, and the sponsors are very enthusiastic, hoping that they will perform in Asia, in order to increase brand awareness, expand influence, and expand the market.

For the Asian trip, if the Millwall Club goes alone, Aldridge will refuse, because the game with the Asian team has a very low significance and effect!

Even if the friendly game is relaxed and happy, but the strength contrast is too strong, it almost becomes a play, so what is the preparation?

Even though this preseason has turned into a show, Aldridge still hopes that the team can make a show while making money, but also benefit the new season.

Ajax, Celtics, Monaco.

With the joint efforts of the sponsors and Millwall, they invited three interested clubs to travel to Asia with Millwall.

Millwall Asia has three stops. The first stop is Singapore, where they play a friendly match with Ajax, the second stop is Hong Kong, China, the opponent is the Celtics, the last stop is Shanghai, China, the opponent is Last season's Ligue 1 champion Monaco.

After the three stops, they will return to London, the penultimate pre-season warm-up match will be the stadium opener at the Lion King Stadium, the opponent invited is AC Milan, the last warm-up match is before the start of the new season Charity shield.

In this Asian trip, Millwall did not go to Japan or South Korea, because in the second half of the year, they would go to Tokyo again after an interval of two years to participate in the Toyota Cup.

From the moment Millwall arrived in Singapore, wherever they went became the focus, setting off a football craze.

On a hot summer day, Aldridge didn’t have a suit or leather suit to find guilt this time. Instead, he wore a casual T-shirt with the club’s logo on it. When he got off the plane, his neck was covered with bright garlands. The players were no exception. The VIP came to the desert of football.

The players are very relaxed. The most abnormal person is Ronaldinho. He wears sunglasses and smiles sternly. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this kid is cool!

Three days before the start of the friendly match, Millwall held open training in Singapore. One day, he also participated in commercial activities. The players in the team collectively attended the promotional activities arranged by the sponsor.

On the day of the friendly match, at the press conference, Aldridge faced the vast majority of Asian faces on the scene, smiling and waiting for questions.

Originally a routine business, a friendly match, what else can we talk about? But since it's here for a show, you must increase your exposure.

As a result, Asian journalists are really **** difficult for Aldridge!

"FIFA considers the 02 World Cup to be held ahead of schedule in May. Most European coaches and clubs have issued a statement strongly against it. As Europe's most successful football coach, Mr. Hall, what do you think?"

The scene was silent.

Aldridge smiled bitterly in his heart, and I came to make money, but in the end you guys dug a pit and waited for me, not kind!

Organizations like FIFA and UEFA often make jokes. It's not surprising. Sometimes, weird proposals that ordinary people find incredible can be brought to the table.

The FIFA World Cup was held in Asia for the first time. FIFA took into consideration climate factors and put forward the idea to advance the World Cup to May.

One stone arouses thousands of waves, European clubs, all opposed!

Aldrich never mixes things like this. He thinks it doesn’t make much sense. Anyway, he is not a decision maker.

Asian journalists definitely hope that Aldridge will say something nice about the World Cup in Asia.

After thinking about it for a moment, Aldridge smiled and said: "First of all, correct your mistakes. I am not the most successful coach in Europe. There are many more than my successful coach. Well, my question about the World Cup is important? I don’t think my opinion can affect the FIFA resolution?"

The crows in the world are generally black, and reporters at the scene are still asking. Anyway, Audridge needs to express his position, support or not!

Aldridge was depressed and dead.

Support FIFA and offend Europe? Support Europe? Offended FIFA?

After thinking about it, anyway, so many coaches and clubs in Europe have publicly stated that they are right with FIFA. It is not bad for him, let's follow the trend!

"I think the FIFA proposal is not considered. If the World Cup is held in May, the European mainstream leagues must change their schedules. Otherwise, the European leagues have not ended in mid-May, especially the Champions League and UEFA Cup finals. It concerns more than 50 national team internationals and at least 20 players who will make their debut in the World Cup. If the schedule is not changed, the players will end the European League and immediately go to the World Cup. There is no doubt that the appreciation of the World Cup will plummet. Tired, there is no time to prepare for the national team training. If the schedule is changed, the time is too late, which means that the league will start at least one month ahead of next year, then the summer rest time will suddenly decrease, which is a chain reaction. Therefore, I I feel that the whole world will be carried out ahead of time with the start of the whole body. The lives of countless players, clubs, leagues and fans will be disrupted. It is better to follow the steps."

Aldrich is young and gentle, the press conference is very harmonious, some sharp questions, such as Henry transfers, agent shady and the like, Aldridge mostly carried a sentence, negative things, there is no need to preach to become focus.
