The Young Lion

Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan, Atletico Lisbon, three teams arrived in London in late July and will play the Lions Cup charity match at the Lion King Stadium.

Millwall gave an expensive appearance fee, but due to Millwall's attention and great influence, 70% of the income of the event broadcast fee is enough to cover the appearance fees of the three, and the rest, including tickets, Millwall can earn more than 2 million.

Fleet Street really served Millwall and now can make money without leaving home.

2 million is not much to listen to. It is the budget of the rich giants. For La Liga or Bundesliga downstream teams, it is equivalent to a transfer fee for important players.

Fans of Mad Lions are happy. Even if Lions didn’t go to the Far East for gold in the past years, but the friendly games are also played everywhere.

Millwall defeated Sporting Lisbon in the first game, warming up two consecutive victories.

But it caused suspicion on Fleet Street.

Whether it was Schalke 04 or Sporting Lisbon, several Italian internationals in the formation did not fill the whole game, basically only played half, and they were replaced in the second half.

It's still early for the transfer window to close. The Italian media chanted "Pirlo's home, Zambrotta, come back soon."

In an interview, Aldridge said firmly: "Millwall will not have any players left in the summer! I know Pirlo, Zambrotta, and other players are connected with other teams in the media, but they I won’t go anywhere, just stay at Millwall, and be with you to make a new season and strive to achieve greater achievements."

The reason why the Italian media over the past three days released rumors that Pirlo they will join the Serie A giants, the root is still in Pirlo these players, they themselves have the idea to return to Italy.

But Aldridge tried hard to convince them to stay, and the reason was simple.

Next year is the World Cup, the Italian national team is very competitive, you stay in Millwall, you are definitely the focus, as long as you do not have problems, your performance will definitely be guaranteed.

But if you go back to Italy, go to a new team, a new coach, a new team environment, a new technical and tactical system, and a new league style, many factors will make the new season unpredictable. An abnormal performance, or a downturn for a while, this may affect the prospects of the national team.

The mentor and the disciple did not clarify the words, and everyone expressed their hearts.

From the reason for Aldridge to persuade them, they actually reached a silent agreement with each other.

The 01-02 season was the last season they played for the Lions.

After the World Cup, they will return to Italy.

At that time, when the backbone players such as Southgate, Nedved, Larson and other players were more than 30 years old, it is bound to usher in the construction of the third generation of new crazy lions!

Compared with the first generation of crazy lions reaching their peak, the main force of the second half of the team is running forward, the second generation of crazy lions can go to today, and maintain the main frame for another season, this is already commendable, Aldridge does not complain about who, people Everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone's situation is different. If he is an Italian, he is famous for playing football, and he wants to return to his hometown. What?

This is a kind of soul's bondage, it is a kind of instinct.

In the second game of the Lions Cup, Millwall vs Paris Saint-Germain.

Aldridge and Fernandez played again. Last time, it was already 97 years. Millwall eliminated the defending champion Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final of the European Winners Cup. Four years later, Fernandes went to the palace to teach Paris Saints Germanic, against Millwall is no match.

When Paris Saint-Germain entered the venue, the fans of the Lions applauded enthusiastically.

Many fans raised a crazy lion jersey with the number 19 printed on both hands, with the name of Glennshire printed on it.

The seven-year veteran had just left the team and returned to the Lion King Stadium in less than a month. Although he was an opponent, the fans were still grateful for their late arrival.

Aldridge and Glenchard hugged and talked with each other alone and asked about his situation in Paris. Glenchard seemed to be affected by the atmosphere of the scene, and his speech was a bit unnatural. Later, he also joined Millwall’s starting player. Group photo, took a weird photo of 12 people.

This is Millwall’s third warm-up match. The players’ physical condition and competitive status have returned to a certain strength stage. Compared with the first two games, they played tepidly, but today they played with Paris Saint-Germain very beautifully. The fast pace is just a few mistakes.

This kind of mistake is easy to understand. Players' awareness of kicking is basically not retrogressive. Therefore, the top-level sense of play is applied to teams that have not recovered to the peak of 80%, and there will be mistakes between teammates.

70 minutes into the second half of the game, Millwall had a 3-1 lead, Aldridge replaced the main force of the block, let the young people go up for a rush, he and Fernandes stood on the sidelines to communicate, friendly match, not hurt.

"If Millwall was this lineup and this strength, it is estimated that Paris Saint-Germain was completely eliminated in the first round at home, and the second round was just a form."

Fernandes is very sighed. Speaking of which, now this lineup has changed a lot compared with that year. Compared with the original, he still remembers only Southgate, Schneider, Pirlo, Larson, Ned Five people in Vader.

Even goalkeeper Bout is not in the starting lineup today.

Bute recovered from his injury, but he still has to wait for the opportunity to return to the main position in the new season. Palyuka performed bravely in the second half of last season and was a hero of Millwall’s defending league and Champions League. Aldridge does not It may be that Palyuka will be directly put on the bench in the new season, but Palyuka’s age determines that he cannot represent Millwall’s future, and Bout is the main force for long-term support in the next few years, so it takes a while to wait. An opportunity to put it bluntly is that Palyuka's state has declined. When his performance is not good, he will be lowered to the bench. Before Palyuka joined, Aldridge made it clear to him that he did not personally There will be opinions, not to mention playing on the bench at Millwall. Due to the many games in England and the intensive schedule, Millwall's backup goalkeeper is by no means looking at the role of the water dispenser.

"Alas, this kind of thing is not easy to say. Anything can happen on the football field. Your statement is too pessimistic. I will comfort you. If Millwall met Paris Saint-Germain in the championship season, who will die? It’s really hard to say.”

Aldrich's jokes made Fernandez stunned, and then he smiled and shook his head.

That's right, this idea of ​​Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong is really mediocre.

The final result of the match was 4:2. Millwall won two games in a row. Inter Milan's opponent in the third game had a win and a tie. In the third game, the two teams confronted each other and decided to warm up the charity cup.

At the end of the game, Schneider and Glenn Charles exchanged jerseys. The two of them have the best relationship in the team. The two of them blessed each other and reached out to hold the picture together. , Will be a precious scene in their memory.

Aldridge held a club press conference with great interest the day after the game.

Reporters from Fleet Street came to Millwall and wanted to see for themselves. What was Millwall's only signing for the entire summer!

Kaka's transfer, after "a lot of hard work", was finally completed!

On the stage in the press conference hall, Aldridge stood side by side with Kaka, set against the sunny and handsome young man Kaka, 25-year-old Aldridge, but looked a bit vicissitudes, but the two They are all handsome guys, standing together and being photographed, not surprisingly even on the cover of a fashion magazine.

Aldridge handed the No. 22 jersey to Kaka.

Kaka smiled with the jersey on, showed it for a while, put on the jersey, and then sat down with Aldridge in front of the stage.

Aldridge was in a good mood and said to the microphone: "Today, Millwall can proudly announce that we have signed a talented player with the ability to reach the world level in the future. He is from Brazil. People can call him Kaka. As you all know, the names of Brazilian players are too long, and the name of Kaka, I am sure that there will be countless fans in the future, Millwall has always focused on long-term construction, and signing Kaka is that we adhere to the traditional In fact, I firmly believe that he will leave his own great footprint at the Lion King Stadium."

Aldrich seems to be playing a one-man show.

The reporters looked at each other.

The contradiction in their hearts!

Picky?

Millwall has a tradition of picking up trash.

A few years ago they also laughed at Millwall's signing of Klose's amateur league waste. Last season Klose's performance cracked their faces.

Today, this Kaka, a good origin, the famous Brazilian São Paulo, 19 years old, but in the São Paulo Club, can not find his official record of playing in the game.

Since Kaka finalized his transfer to Millwall this fall last summer, the São Paulo Club only provided Kaka training guarantees and did not allow Kaka to play in the La Liga.

Speaking of it, there aren't many games. The games of the Bajia are from spring to winter. Kaka has no games in the first half of the year. He hasn't even had a debut in his career.

In fact, São Paulo did nothing more than worry about Millwall’s return.

Kaka performed well and Milwall would buy it.

Kaka's performance is not good, Millwall may repent, this player will hit the hands, not making money.

Anyway, if he is not allowed to play, the Sao Paulo club is making a profit, so why bother to take the risk?

Because of this, Fleet Street couldn’t find the game data for this kid’s professional league. Millwall bought it for 6 million pounds. This amount of money is too much, not too much for the giants. Said less. The Midstream Club can buy one. The main player in the year of the fight.

The reporters tacitly feared being beaten, so they did not dare to question Aldridge's rhetoric that Kaka had joined.

It's cold.

The first time Kaka saw this scene, he was not at ease, but instead found it interesting. His eyes rolled around and the corners of his mouth curved. It felt like he was selling maliciously.

Aldridge was laughed angrily, reaching over and swiping in front of him, pointing at all the reporters, laughing and cursing: "I know what you are thinking! Don't even think about it! In 1995, Millwall first appeared in the Premier League, you Someone turned over the old account and said that Mildwall had a bad sign before signing Nedved. Nedved was not a genius, or that year, you questioned whether Shevchenko was a genius. After that, you doubted Klose, so Years have passed, do you still not understand? Now that the FA has passed the review, I agree with Millwall to use the genius clause to introduce Kaka, which means that Kaka does have extraordinary talents. In other words, Kaka comes to the Premier League. , Is the luck of the Premier League, because he can bring attention and influence to the Premier League, just like Nedved, when Shevchenko left, didn't you all regret it? That means that!"
