The Young Lion

"Millwall and Manchester United have been playing for 80 minutes, the score is 2:0, Millwall leads, Millwall has an absolute advantage on the scene, although Manchester United sent their strongest lineup, but at a glance, Manchester United is far inferior to Millwall no matter in terms of warfare or physical condition, let alone they are not optimistic."

In the stands of the Lion King Stadium, fans have already waved their homemade pocket Premier League trophy.

From the point of view of the pre-match betting company's odds, the gap between Millwall and Manchester United rose to an unprecedented record, which also intuitively reflects the strength of the two sides.

Manchester United is also the one that failed this season's transformation and added unreliable back defense. Millwall is also a stable and excellent Millwall.

But another feature is particularly prominent in this game, that is the impact of lineup thickness on the season.

Manchester United's third-line combat, which can really be used in the game, is actually only 1.5 sets of players, and Millwall is more than them. The effect is not seen at the beginning of the season, and the effect will show up in the second half of the season. Millwall's physical condition is better than that of Manchester United. In the game, Manchester Lenovo attacked but was weak. If he knew that the back line was not reliable, then he must definitely go back to defend, go back, want to go up, But it has become extremely difficult, the whole cannot be unified, and it is no surprise that the whole team is suppressed.

In the 80th minute, Aldridge made a second substitution on the sidelines and replaced Ronaldinho with Ronaldo.

He and Ronaldinho gave a high-five celebration to push Ronaldo on the court, and then prepared to turn around and walk back to the coach seat to sit down, but Ferguson came over.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines. After the two coaches shook hands before the game started, there was no communication or contact in the middle of the time. The fourth official saw Ferguson’s expression as usual. Stepped forward to block.

"That Portuguese kid, £20 million, sell it?"

Ferguson glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo. To be honest, the 17-year-old player is a child in his eyes. If he can complete the transaction, it will definitely be a record transfer.

Aldridge smiled and asked rhetorically: "Why is he going to Manchester United? Is there anything Millwall cannot match Manchester United?"

"I can give him the position of the main striker."

"Well, 100 million pounds."

Ferguson was stunned for a moment, and he smiled angrily, shaking his head: "Now you are in a mood to joke."

Aldridge shrugged and said, "I rarely joke when it comes to players. Look, I said 100 million pounds. You think I'm talking about dreams, but think about how much a club is willing to bid for Henry? The Portuguese kid in your mouth. Now, at the age of 17, you are willing to pay 20 million pounds. Don’t you think he can reach 60 million or 70 million pounds in the future? I sold 20 million to you, didn’t you lose?”

Ferguson thought about it for a while, but it was really the truth, but it was not completely right, because 20 million pounds does not mean that Ronaldo’s stadium performance is now linked to the value. The key is the potential. In the future, it will definitely grow to a value of more than 20 million pounds. Now Well, at most around 5 million pounds.

In fact, Ferguson’s mentality is somewhat different from the past. In the past, there was substantial competition with Aldridge. Now, Manchester United has bid farewell to the competition for the championship. The goal of the league is to keep the Champions League seat. Heart, distracted from the European War, this is not due to the will of the head coach, because the players also know that the league is out of play, there are hopeful titles left, the most important thing is naturally the Champions League.

Therefore, Ferguson's mentality has changed a bit, but it is certainly not happy or relaxed. It has mixed flavors and the most bitterness.

Thinking of the ambitious introduction of Belon at the beginning of the season, and the introduction of Fran during the winter break, Stam's departure before the start of the season, the transformation failed, and Scholes was reconsidered before the release of the ice, the league bid farewell to the championship early, and now actually with Liverpool were in the same ranks, and they thought that Liverpool coach Holier had a heart attack...

Ferguson suddenly sighed: "This job is really not **** done!"

Aldridge chuckled, and he felt the same. Hard work is just the foundation. Stress is there every day. If the record fluctuates, if there is a problem within the team, the heartbeat is thumping, which is really unbearable sometimes.

He spread his hands and smiled at Ferguson: "Then retire, I will accompany you!"

Ferguson stared blankly at Aldridge for a while, and turned away after dropping a sentence.

"Even if you're not kidding, I won't retire. Without leading Manchester United to end Millwall's rule, I'm a deserter. Damn Millwall, **** Aldridge!"

Aldridge watched the old man turn stubbornly away, one hand on his hips, one hand on the forehead, closed his eyes and smiled and said to himself: "What do you call me..."

In Aldrich's opinion, Ferguson is like the immortal villain in the cartoon, and every time he is defeated, he will say "I will come back!"

Counting and fighting with him for 7 years. In these 7 years, the opponents in the Premier League disappeared one by one, replaced by new faces, probably only like Ferguson and Wenger. A dead enemy that has never changed can make you simply not look at each other with your opponent.

"At the end of the game, Millwall defeated Manchester United 2:0, and the defending champion Millwall League four consecutive crowns officially entered the countdown. Arsenal in the second place should really appreciate the pain of Manchester United in the past few years and compete with Millwall for the league. The championship is really desperate! Arsenal have already played their most efficient season in the Premier League era, but they still can’t shake Millwall’s domination, and even the chance of challenge seems slim, at the end of the season , Will be the milestone time point of the Premier League for ten years. If Millwall wins this season, then there is no doubt that the most successful club in the Premier League in this decade must belong to Millwall. In ten years, five championship trophies were won by Milwaukee. Take away!"

At the end of the game, Aldridge did not shake hands with Ferguson. Ferguson is expected to reprimand his disciples, but Aldridge did not praise the team. Today's victory is fully deserved, and the team should also win.

Millwall opened the prelude to a full-line sprint for the championship. The UEFA Champions League second stage group game won four games and has advanced to the quarter-finals in advance. However, at this stage, unless the rotation breaks, the players must go all out on the field. This is a way to guarantee the state. It is impossible to let the players converge on the court, either rest or try their best, otherwise, neglect on the court will kill the state.

Therefore, when the fifth round of the game against Bayern Munich comes, Aldridge still intends to let the main lineup play the game. The reason is simple. In case the bench lineup loses, it will affect morale. Munich, Aldridge's last minute substitutions made his memory fresh.

Bayern Munich is now trying to make the line. The Bovista of this group is to give away the child, and was ruined by the other three teams. Millwall came out in advance. The remaining Galatasaray and Bayern Munich grabbed a place. .

The day before the Champions League came, Aldridge received a call.

"Aldrich, are you free? I invite you to dinner."

"Isn't it? Even if I'm free, am I flying to Italy now? Or are you flying to London? Did you make a mistake? I'll be playing at Millwall in London for tomorrow's Champions League."

"Uh, I'm in London."

"Hah, there is no good feast, you have bad intentions."

"No, no, we are friends, and we connect with each other normally. I have more time recently."

"Oh, that's true. Well, say a place, I'm going to the banquet."

...

After hanging up the phone, Aldridge put on his suit in the living room at home and put it on again. After seeing it, he asked curiously, "It's about to eat, where are you going?"

Aldridge laughed: "Someone invites to dinner, I will entertain him."

Yi Wen frowned slightly and felt strange, and immediately relieved, guessing that it should be a matter of business, eating, just a guise, otherwise Aldridge will definitely bring his family.

On the way to the appointment by car, Aldridge called Andrew and asked about it.

He came to a high-end restaurant in the city and saw the person who invited him to dinner in the private room. The other party was extremely enthusiastic and stood up smilingly to give Aldridge a hug.

"Long time no see, Aldridge, why are you getting younger and younger?"

"Oh, I'm not old. Boom!"

Aldridge gave him a hug and kissed the other person's shiny head, and said with a smile: "Adriano, how many zero checks did your boss give you?"

Adriano is Galliani, the manager of AC Milan.

He smiled bitterly, looking at the kid's status today, and being able to talk about business, he didn't know how much he was going to be slaughtered.

"Sit down and eat first."

After sitting down, Aldridge directly ordered his meal. He didn't treat himself as a guest at all. He asked Galliani what wine to drink, and then added a good bottle of wine. Anyway, he wasn't paying for it.

"How's it going? Alas, I asked one more time, Millwall is fine, there is no problem at all."

"Oh, let me ask you, how are you doing recently? Well, I have to ask too much, AC Milan should be nothing, so your boss can't sit still, take out the checkbook and start filling in numbers, right? "

Galliani touched his bald head and nodded helplessly.

Indeed, AC Milan has been very disappointing this season. Last season did not get the Champions League tickets. This season's Serie A competition is Juventus, Rome, Inter Milan, which has nothing to do with AC Milan. Now AC Milan's only goal , Is to get the league fourth, enter the Champions League next season.

After dinner came, Galliani watched Aldrich's appetite, and the food seemed to be particularly fragrant. He poured wine frequently, and raised his glasses to clink the two. Galiani knew that he would never cut into the subject again. In case Aldrich When I finished eating, I wiped my mouth and patted my ass, and left the meal.

"Hey, drink slowly, drink slowly, did you not eat at noon?"

"Eat, not full, I took note of this restaurant, the meal was good, and brought my family someday."

"No worries, no worries, there is time. That, Aldridge, I received the news that several Italian players in Millwall plan to transfer back to Italy this summer, right?"

Aldridge twitched his eyes while holding a wine glass, anxious about Galliani. He sipped and smiled and said: "Well, yes, there are several players who are tired of living in London and want to return to Italy. After all, they are Well, their motherland, I can understand. Besides, they have contributed so much to Millwall, and I cannot force them to stay.

"Yes, yes, you are now the first handsome coach in Europe, there is no need to make conflicts with the players, the pass is not good, the players stay in the club, it also affects the internal unity, um, as far as I know, it is Materazzi, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Pirlo, these four players will leave Millwall and return to Italy, right?"

Galliani stared at Aldridge with both eyes, and after Aldridge nodded to confirm, he suddenly shouted.

"Okay! AC Milan wants it all!"

Aldridge just took another sip of wine and saw Galliani's eyes screaming excitedly, but he couldn't hold back.
