The Young Lion

Ronaldinho's training quality on this day was terrible. In the morning, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm. In the afternoon, he was separated from the first team by the coaching staff and trained separately.

After a short rest at noon, sleep was still insufficient, and bloodshot eyes were clearly visible.

When he knocked on the door of Aldridge's office, Aldridge stood behind his desk and faced him with his hands in his pockets, looking out at the training ground outside the window.

"Boss, I know that my performance made you very dissatisfied today, and I apologize..."

Ronaldinho took the initiative to apologize when he walked in, but he saw that Aldridge was still facing away from him, raising his hand to stop what he was going to say, instead beckoning him to walk over.

Ronaldinho walked behind his desk. He saw several newspapers with British tabloids on the table. The front page was the ugliness of his indulgence in the nightclub.

When he walked to Aldridge, he knew and experienced it for the first time.

It turned out that standing in this position and looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook all the training grounds of the entire Leo training base.

Here, Aldrich’s office. After moving here more than five years ago, he stood in front of the window countless times, and the view covered the training ground in the entire Leo training base. The scene was not spectacular, but it was also a little bit People are shocked.

The success of a team is on the field, but the source of success on the field is training. Without good training, there is no good performance on the field. This is beyond doubt.

luck? Goddess of Destiny? That's the rhetoric of the weak covering up the failure or being jealous of the strong.

"It was almost five years ago that you first appeared here, the first time you showed open air on that site."

Aldrich pointed to a training ground at the far end, too far away, certainly could not clearly point out the specific area, but it can make Ronaldinho recall memories.

The boy who won the respect and marvel of everyone from the first touch on the training ground started his football dream from here.

Ronaldinho turned to look at Aldridge, and suddenly felt that he could not understand Aldridge's eyes.

The man who used to be crazy with himself, was extremely harsh on himself at work, and approachable in life. At this time, he felt a sense of strangeness and distance.

When Aldridge slowly turned his head to look at him, Ronaldinho lowered his head.

Before coming, he was mentally prepared to greet Aldridge's thunder, and he was reprimanded as he wanted, and then he could leave. Then, everything disappeared.

However, when he and Aldridge faced each other, he dared not look at Aldridge’s eyes again, which was full of disappointment, as if a sword had penetrated his heart and pierced his emotions. The package, self-blame, guilt, shame, swept through the body instantly, as if to drain his strength.

He always knew how high Aldridge's expectations were for him.

But at this moment, he seemed to live up to all his expectations of him.

"Do you understand me?"

Aldridge said softly.

Ronaldinho nodded.

He thinks he knows the boss, so he never thinks he has the privilege because of Audridge's attention. If he violates the team rules, he will be punished.

"No, you don't understand. At my present position, I must win, keep winning, make this club more brilliant, and make Millwall an unshakable force in Europe. This is when I wake up every day. I told myself that I have to be motivated to work, and I must forget what I have achieved in the past, so that I can work on the ground, not naively think that everything will not change, victory will come, and our defeat will always be The defeated men."

Ronaldinho nodded. He wanted to say something, but he felt pale and weak.

Aldrich turned around and looked out the window again, said softly: "Maybe you think I'm making a big deal, you are just late today, the training is bad, but I think this should be taken seriously, the first time, the second time For the third time, in the long run, you don’t have good training as a guarantee, the competitive state will decline all the way. So, we openly talk about it, I also want to simplify things, I will give you time to return to Brazil for a holiday, reunite with your family, you With friends, you want to indulge, yes, this is what you deserve. After all, here, you have fewer friends, which I understand, I will occasionally play crazy with friends. But, when you are in the club At that time, you must plan your leisure time reasonably. In the last game, I did not let you play, that is, let you take a good rest and let you recover from the fatigue caused by the journey of the national team, but you went to the nightclub. Reaching the established goal of rest recovery, even training has been affected. Ronaldinho, you belong to football, you should also work harder in this area, you know what amazing actions you can make in this field, There is only one time in life, please hold it well. Tomorrow the team will play in the Champions League, you stay in the club to train alone."

Ronaldinho realized later that he suddenly realized why he felt a sense of distance and strangeness from Aldridge.

Probably because Aldridge still maintains a strong source of struggle in such a successful career status, works solidly, and desires a more successful ambition.

He has a league title and a Champions League title. The name Ronaldinho has transformed from a supernova to a real superstar in Europe. Whether he can step into a superstar depends on his performance in international competitions, or in The club continues its previous excellent state.

If anyone in Millwall is Ronaldinho's most trusted, then it must be Aldridge. His leader will not only hurt him, but will do everything for his sake, make him good, make him better To make him the best!

"Boss, I promise, not next time!"

Aldrich raised his left hand and shook his head. "Don't make verbal promises, actions are more persuasive than words."

Ronaldinho didn't say anything, turned around and left, as he was excluded from tomorrow's game list, this is the penalty made by the club, moreover, for his training performance today, he is not eligible to enter the starting list.

When Ronaldinho gently closed the office door, Aldridge murmured in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows: "If you concentrate on playing football, God will smile."

...

Ronaldinho returned home and rested that day, and entered the rhythm of focused training early the next day.

Millwall did not have him on the roster for the Champions League away. Aldridge avoided talking about it at the press conference and coldly dealt with Ronaldinho’s comments, as long as Ronaldinho himself can straighten his mind and not reappear in the nightclub, about him The off-site topic will disappear.

Sporting Lisbon, Newcastle United, Derby, Manchester City, Sporting Lisbon, Leeds United, Southampton.

In 7 games in 40 days, Millwall achieved 5 wins and 2 draws.

The Champions League came first and then played back to back against Atlético Lisbon. They achieved a draw at home. They scored three points at home. After four rounds of the first stage of the Champions League group match, Millwall won the second place with 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss and 7 points. The situation in this group shocked the outside world. Moscow Sparta from Eastern Europe defeated Millwall in the first round and then won three consecutive victories. The points reached 12 points, which is very likely to be directly the first in the group. The promotion is only one draw away from the theoretical realization. Anyway, it is no problem to qualify, but the stronger Hamburg and Atletico Lisbon are ranked third or fourth in the group. As long as Millwall defeats Sparta Moscow in the next round, basically The team can also announce the qualifying, but the possibility of an unexpected outing is not without.

In 5 games in the league, 4 wins and 1 draw. Except for Elland Road, Ole was forced to grab a draw by the furious midfielder. All other opponents were cut down by Millwall.

After finishing 15 rounds in the Premier League, Millwall won 9 and 6 draws, continuing the undefeated momentum, and the league unbeaten record reached an amazing 63 games!

In the Premier League standings, Millwall only ranked second.

Manchester United's start to the new season is not ideal, but since the 9th round, they have won 7 consecutive victories, 15 rounds of war, with 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss record 36 points to occupy the top position, leading Milwall by 3 points, Arsenal, who suffered a two-game losing streak in the 14-15 round, has a tendency to fall behind. 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses have only 25 points. Before Christmas, it was 11 points away from the leader, 7 wins 5 Leeds United with 3 losses and 1 loss more than Arsenal, Liverpool 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses with 23 points followed closely, Chelsea 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses with 17 points was an early farewell to the championship group.

Fleet Street was relieved, and the situation in the Premier League was much more optimistic than last year.

The Champions League, er, there is no longer the group that was expected before the season. No one doubts that the competition for the league title this season is still between Millwall and Manchester United. The gap between Arsenal, Leeds United and Liverpool behind the top of the list is in double. The number of digits means a difference of at least four goals. With such room for fault tolerance, Millwall or Manchester United, a single team may make mistakes in the remaining 23 rounds of the league, but two teams make mistakes at the same time and give back The possibility of the team catching up is really slim, especially in the 6-point battle, it is unlikely that a strong dialogue can get an advantage in two rounds, even if Arsenal gave Manchester United only one defeat so far this season. 'S team, but it was in Highbury. If Arsenal couldn't retire at Old Trafford in the second half, it would be equal to the two teams, and no one would take advantage.

For more than a month, Aldridge was in a good mood.

In addition to Ronaldinho's training and performance of the stadium to eliminate the negative news brought before, at the same time, Millwall Club in London ushered in a player who will soon belong to them.

Kaka learned from the hospital in São Paulo that Millwall and the São Paulo club once again reached a player transfer agreement. At the same time, Andrew came to the hospital to visit him on behalf of Aldridge and gave Aldridge’s letter to the other party.

This time, Kaka was moved.

He hasn't played in an official game, and his career hasn't even staged his first show. Millwall's offensive against him in the summer has actually made him tempted, but his family does not want him to go to Europe too soon. Especially Millwall is full of talents. He goes directly to the top giants. I am afraid that he will not get many opportunities, for fear that he will be buried.

He hopes to play well in Brazil before considering going to Europe.

As a result of the scourge, he broke his spine. For a player who was injured in this area and is an unknown player, a top coach of the UEFA football team still does not give up chasing him. Kaka has no reason not to be moved. .

In particular, Millwall also contacted the top medical team for him during the same period, and rushed to Brazil in the next step. No matter whether Kaka agreed to transfer, Millwall's arrangement is free.

Kaka's father was his agent. After seeing Millwall's so sincere move, he finally nodded and let Kaka transfer to Millwall. As for salary, Millwall gave the first team support. The minimum standard is very rich compared to Brazilian players, especially now Kaka.

The Kaka family came to London, not to settle, but to accompany Kaka to receive spine treatment and recovery in London. Aldridge took the time to visit Kaka in the hospital and exchange some football topics with him.

As for the transfer of players, Millwall and São Paulo reached an agreement, Kaka transfer value of 6 million pounds, the transfer time is next summer, next January transfer, Millwall can not operate, there is no room.

Kaka belongs to a non-European player. If he wants to come to Millwall, he must initiate special genius clauses. The club needs to operate and deal with the English Football Association. It is more abundant in summer time. In the month, the possibility of Huang is very high.
