The Young Lion

After two days of rest, Millwall's players did not play crazy during the two-day vacation. When they returned to the team for the Champions League final preparation training, it was obvious that they were in very good physical condition.

This is probably related to their mental state, the good habits they have developed over the years, and the team's stronger psychological quality this season.

Aldridge's work is still meticulous and step-by-step.

The day before the expedition to Turkey, this day was Aldridge's birthday.

The young marshal is 29 years old.

Early in the morning, when he was still in the office, Carter pushed the door open and asked with a headache, Aldrich, how have we lived today in the past few years?

Huh? What do you mean? Is there anything special today?

Aldridge sat behind his desk with his chin resting on his face, looking puzzled.

Carter sat down across the desk and exclaimed: The first thing I did when I came to the club was to be told by my assistant: Millwall's official website was blown up! Our official website server was paralyzed, and the mailbox was also paralyzed after it was full of mail!

Aldridge frowned and said, Didn't you upgrade the server once last year?

Carter nodded and said: Yes, I just found out today that every year you celebrate your birthday, the club will upgrade the website server once!

Aldridge rested his forehead and bowed his head, unable to help laughing.

Both he and Carter are very mature men, like celebrating birthdays, simple things are fine, there is no need to make them grand.

However, since many years ago, when the day of the Millwall Champions League final collided with Aldridge's birthday, and at that time some fans put up slogans in the stands to wish Aldridge a happy birthday, since then. Aldrich's birthday is no secret.

On his birthday. Fans from all over the world will send congratulations in the mail. Some left messages on the official website, and even mailed gifts to the club.

For the club players, Aldridge advocates taking the initiative to care for them. On the players' birthdays, they will organize some surprise attack internal celebrations, so that the players can feel warm and cared in the club.

But my own birthday, many years ago, made repeated orders, and the club automatically ignored it. After all, he is the leader of the team. If the season is over, the players will go their separate ways. The season is not over, which means there are still games. As a coach, how can he celebrate his birthday with great fanfare?

Can't stop the enthusiasm of the fans.

So, Millwall's official website and public mailbox will go through the test of life and death on this day. The experience of the past years has told the club: the network hardware needs to be upgraded once a year. The upgrade date will be after May 20th.

With Carter gone, today should have been easy. As a result, he had to deal with the gifts that the club received from fans from all over the world. Even if it was a greeting card, the club had to send a reply letter to show that they valued it!

Only in this way can we better develop the club's overseas fan base.

Although those jobs were not written by Aldrich, someone did it for him.

But this is just like a star, the working team around the star does a lot of the work of interacting with fans.

Regardless of Aldridge's so much, it's normal, the day before the expedition, the training task will not be too heavy, and the team atmosphere is also very relaxed.

He supervised the training of the players on the sidelines of the training ground, and chatted with his colleagues on the coaching staff, which was relaxed and enjoyable.

It's just that players like Schneider, Ronaldinho, De Rossi and other players occasionally look at him, and they always feel a little weird. Aldridge only understands that they want to say happy birthday to him.

But when the afternoon training ended and he walked out of the office to the parking lot, he was stunned.

The car in the parking lot was pried open!

The rear door is open, because the door cannot be closed!

He walked over cautiously, and saw a foot protruding from the back seat of the car. It was that foot that made the door impossible to close.

As he got closer, he realized that the foot was the foot of a puppet.

In his car, except for the driver's seat, the other spaces are full of things!

One part is a carefully packaged gift box, and the other part is packed in a handbag. There are the latest computers, game consoles, leather shoes, clothing, non-mainstream ornaments, cowboy hats... the puppet The doll's feet was at the bottom, and after he peeled off the top, he could see clearly that the doll's template was himself!

It's just the q version plus it's shrunk a little, and it's almost 1.5 meters in height.

Aldrich couldn't help laughing, if he still can't figure it out at this time, then his life is really in vain!

Definitely a birthday present from the players!

Just as he was about to make a phone call to reprimand them, suddenly there was a chorus of shouts in the originally quiet parking lot, which almost scared Aldrich to his buttocks sitting on the ground!

Boss! Happy birthday! Hahahaha!

In all directions, those cars of various colors were still parked in the parking lot, with their heads sticking out from the driver's seat. All the first-team players laughed loudly. After shouting in unison, they immediately started the car and left quickly!

Aldrich was a little confused.

When he arrived, he saw that the parking lot was full, and he thought the players hadn't left yet, and he didn't see anything unusual.

Unexpectedly, they were already in the car, they must have lowered their heads to prevent outsiders from finding out, and then set up an ambush here!

Aldrich was really dizzy.

I can't laugh or cry.

He didn't know who gave each of these gifts. He especially wanted to know, who made this doll?

Afterwards, Kaka voluntarily admitted that he sent it.

After finally squeezing the gifts stuffed into the compartment, and closing the door, Aldridge drove home.

He didn't drive the car into the garage, because for the family, his birthday was a special day after all, and Aldrich would not hold a birthday party, and would go to Arthur's place together in the evening, which could be regarded as a small family gathering.

He struggled to hold the doll in his right hand and several handbags in his left hand, and took out the key with great difficulty to open the door of the house. Just as he entered the door, he was startled again by the sound of the colorful cannons, and all the things in his hand fell to the ground.

Dad, happy birthday!

The sight of the house is very dark, only a few candles are lit on the coffee table in the living room, which looks like the atmosphere of a candlelight dinner. The colored cannons fired by Earl and Bert on the left and right by the door made Aldridge's heart beat And suddenly accelerated.

You scared me to death! I thought there was an earthquake!

When the colored stripes fell, Earl and Bert ran into the living room. Aldridge didn't know what the two brothers were going to do. He just bent down to pick up two handbags when his face was held by someone, and he looked up. , Yiwen kissed his lips affectionately, parted for a long time, and she also said with a smile in her eyes: Happy birthday.

Aldrich replied: Thank you, but you have to come to help me. I still have a lot of things in the car that I need to get back.

It was only then that Yiwen noticed that there were many things on the ground, all because the light was too dim.

She went outside to help Aldridge carry all the presents in the car back. Bonnie ran over and rushed into Aldrich's arms, kissed Aldridge on the face, and said happily: Dad, birthday hapiness.

When Ivan brought the things in, Aldridge asked curiously: Why don't you turn on the lights? Candlelight dinner? Didn't you say you can go to Arthur's side?

In fact, it would be strange to say that it is a candlelight dinner.

Because that itself should be a two-person world, not a family dinner atmosphere.

Ivan smiled and said nothing. At this time, Bert and Earl were holding a large plate together from the kitchen. Inside the plate was a very ordinary cake, tasted like chocolate, with lit candles on it. Earl and Earl Te walked into the living room with the dinner plate in his hand and sang birthday song.

Yiwen whispered in Aldrich's ear: They made this with their own hands, and it's a birthday present for you.

Aldridge was too moved to speak.

Although Earl was a very troublesome kid, and he didn't seem to be doing his job most of the time, he would be wronged if he didn't know what to do.

As long as he is interested in things, he will work hard to study and study.

Just like making cakes, he took an advertisement for a cake shop, so he became interested. Although the craftsmanship is not particularly good, it is no problem to make a qualified cake. Presumably he brought his brother Bert, brother Working together, we made this birthday cake for Aldridge.

The reason for lighting candles in the living room is probably for the current environmental effect.

Aldridge knelt down in front of the coffee table and blew out the candles, and then began to enjoy the birthday cake made for him by the children. Although the chocolate taste was too strong, and even the taste seemed greasy, he still ate it with relish and enjoyed it very much.

In the corner of the living room, there is now an extra decoration, at least Aldrich thinks it is half a decoration, half a toy, a piano.

Bonnie also prepared a birthday present for her father, and she wanted to play a birthday song for him.

However, she has only played the piano for a short time, so she is prone to make mistakes, especially when she makes a mistake, she will panic, which makes the piano music played very awkward. In the end, she cried instead, and Aldrich walked away with a smile Sitting in front of the piano, hugging her to make her happy, then encouraging her to slowly play the piano again, soon, a simple and smooth piano piece came out, and Bonnie laughed through tears, Ooh Derich closed his eyes to savor the simple melody.

The day before he left for Turkey, Aldridge celebrated his 29th birthday. On this night, he also received a gift from Ivan.

Yiwen tattooed Aldridge's name on his body, and proudly let Aldridge appreciate it after taking off his clothes. This made Aldridge also have the idea of ​​tattooing. , Earl, Bonnie's name, also tattooed on his body.

On May 21, the Millwall team went to Istanbul, Turkey, and the Champions League final is coming.

On this day, Milan, the opponent of Millwall in the Champions League final, is still in Italy. They are the first team to start this round of Serie A. But at the same time, Millwall has arrived in Turkey to start the final preparations before the Champions League final !

This season, Millwall's strategic active advantage has been implemented almost throughout the season! (To be continued..)
