The Young Lion

3 updates per day this month.

Millwall's lineup is close to perfect, so there is no need to stir up trouble in the transfer market.

Compared to their north London neighbours, Arsenal's last season was not particularly a failure, because at least they won one important trophy: the FA Cup.

However, it should be noted that in that difficult 120-minute battle with Manchester United, Arsenal had lost their aggressiveness on the scene, and even their delicate and smooth technical dominance style. They were almost suppressed by Manchester United. However, Manchester United lacked luck, 120 Minutes failed to score, and finally hated the penalty shootout.

After Vieira left, the weakness of Arsenal's midfield was gradually exposed. This summer, Arsenal's heavyweight signings were to strengthen the midfield.

Born in Eastern Europe, Hleb, who is known as the New Nedved, switched from the Bundesliga to the arsenal. In addition, Wenger dug Alexandre Song from his hometown of France, but Song is too young to play for the Gunners. This season is planned to play an important role, not even a soy sauce role.

Wenger, an idealistic seeker, seems to be constantly weakening the tough and terrifying gunman's power attributes, especially in the midfield. + Parlor Vieira + Gilberto Silva such an iron waist combination.

Arsenal and Millwall join forces at the Welsh Gaddi; Long; Wind; Literary + Husband Millennium Stadium.

Before the start of the Community Shield, Aldrich's previous bearded image had been ridiculed by Fleet Street.

Such as what doesn't fit his young handsome image, the subversive impact is too strong. Or simply say that he deliberately pretended to be deep and vicissitudes.

Waiting for him to attend the pre-match press conference. He has transformed into a light bearded image. This is easier to accept, and in terms of image and visual sense, it is much better. The charming and handsome young commander is back.

Regarding the Community Shield, Aldridge said lightly: We persisted to the end last season and created new brilliance. We need more time to rest. It is a pity. Our summer preparations are not very effective, so the team is short-term. The plan is to allow the main players in the team to have more time to prepare for the game, so that their physical and competitive conditions can return to the best, Community Shield? I think it’s time to test the young people. Some players in the team who were very young last season, We must give them the opportunity to play in important games, feel the atmosphere of the game, withstand the impact of pressure, and accumulate more experience, we will wait and see.

Regarding the assessment of Arsenal's strength in the new season?

Arsenal have always been Millwall's main rivals.

Now they are full of energy, like Cesc Fabregas. Players such as Senderos and Van Persie represent the future of Arsenal. Although the outside world believes that Millwall's overall strength is stronger than Arsenal's, it cannot ignore the fact that in the league competition, Millwall is more competitive than other champions. The team should pay more attention to it. Many teams are willing to try to defeat the defending champion. What if they win? That may be more exciting than winning the championship!

This is the truth that Aldridge said.

In addition to the championship team in the Premier League, when other teams play against Millwall, a draw may mean victory!

But maybe when you meet Arsenal, you may have the idea of ​​giving it a go, maybe you really got 3 points?

From a technical and tactical level, do the rich and powerful teams like their opponents to stick to the limit and fight against counterattacks, or do they like their opponents to attack?

The answer is clear at a glance: Of course, it is better if the opponent dares to attack.

Aldridge sent a large number of young players in this Community Shield.

Moutinho, Veloso, Messi, Ramos, Baynes and other players all appeared on the field. Even Aguero was temporarily transferred to the first team to stand by and came off the bench in the second half of the Community Shield.

Millwall is really here for training.

Arsenal is the main force, and it still focuses on defense.

They didn't have much advantage on the scene, at least when they played against Millwall, the new generation of core Cesc Fabregas supported by Wenger was not yet ready, but he was not at a disadvantage. It can only be said that he could not control the scene.

Millwall lacked a group of experienced generals, especially losing rhythm control and lacking patience in breaking dense defenses.

Messi's breakthrough was impressive, but it couldn't decide the game yet.

Aguero's coming off the bench did not surprise everyone. He is a small man and still needs some adaptation. After all, he suddenly came to an extremely fierce top arena, and the confrontation leap is really a bit big.

Villa is not in the best condition and missed two good opportunities.

Ronaldo, who appeared at the last moment, also did nothing, and seemed a little absent-minded.

Although everyone on the field knows each other, it is difficult to play the best level in the high requirements of breaking the dense defense with the formation of 11 starting lineups.

The 90-minute tie ended in a tie, and the Community Shield went directly to a penalty shootout without overtime.

Aldridge witnessed one of Millwall's most tragic penalty shootouts on the sidelines!

3:0, complete defeat!

Three rounds of penalties were kicked!

He made the list of penalty kicks, and missed all penalty kicks in the first three rounds!

Ronaldo was the first to hit the plane.

Villa directly sent the ball into the arms of Lehmann.

Messi was unlucky and hit the crossbar with a penalty kick, which may also be caused by the tremendous pressure when he played.

Arsenal unexpectedly fought hard for 90 minutes, and won the final penalty shootout so easily!

Wenger laughed from ear to ear.

He hopes that this season will allow many young players to grow up quickly. Growth, of course, depends on victory, which is a stimulant to stimulate young players.

It's just that Wenger probably didn't expect that the FA Cup last season and the Community Shield in the new season will be the starting point for him to go without a championship in the next ten years.

Aldrich doesn't care much about the failure of a Community Shield, and since it's training, he must be conscious.

He feels that the problems reflected in the Community Shield game are very good. The status of the players and any deficiencies in the team's young lineup will attract the attention of the coaching staff.

It's just that Fleet Street made a fuss about his beard after the game, which made him a little unbearable.

What a doom beard. Something like failed change. Aldrich was angry and laughed.

He can't be bothered to respond to the media.

result. Things were developing in a direction beyond his expectations.

With the start of the new season of the Premier League, Millwall is in order to allow the main players to recover more fully. At the same time, there will be a World Cup next summer. Veterans like Larson and Nedved are on the one hand. On the other hand, it is to plan ahead. It is necessary to reserve strength for the World Cup. In terms of use, the club will consider them more, protect them as much as possible, and use them very cautiously.

As the defending champion of the Premier League, Millwall played a mess in the Premier League game in August.

In the four Premier League games, the main force played two games, the opening game on the 13th, and the third round on the 24th, with one win and one draw in the two games. The record is not bad.

However, when the substitute lineup played the second round of the Premier League on the 20th and the fourth round of the Premier League on the 27th, they handed over a bad report card of one draw and one loss.

After four rounds of British overtaking. Millwall only has 5 points, but what about the top team?

Four victories, 12 points!

And there are two teams, both of which are direct competitors of Millwall.

Manchester United and Chelsea are neck and neck in the standings. As soon as the league kicked off, they left Millwall by 7 points!

Fleet Street was buzzing with excitement.

Some media even made an eye-catching title of Fall of the Wild Lion Dynasty!

Aldridge was very angry, not because the media exaggerated the negative significance of Millwall's record, but because the media chattered about his beard for a month!

Doom Beard has become the one Aldrich hates the most since he had a nickname!

Calmly and objectively analyzing the problem of the decline in the team's record, it is actually clear at a glance.

On the 24th, Millwall was about to play the third round of the Premier League, and the main lineup only got a draw.

It's an unsatisfactory performance.

Why?

Because on the 26th, Millwall went to Monaco to play the European Super Cup!

The opponent is Liverpool in the same league. Benitez led Liverpool to relive the UEFA Cup last season.

Aldridge sent the main lineup to play this game in the UEFA Super Cup and won the game 2:1 without any risk.

Then, the team returned to London non-stop to play the fourth round of the Premier League on the 27th.

Why didn't they adjust the schedule?

Millwall can apply to the FA to change the fourth round of the game to another time.

However, Millwall did not do so.

The reason is a bit complicated. Aldridge, who is foresighted, considers that the Premier League has no winter break, the Premier League has double cups, and the Premier League has compressed the schedule this season to give the national team time to prepare for the World Cup, and, damn it.

They changed the Toyota Cup to the Club World Cup.

In December, Millwall originally played the Toyota Cup in previous years and just played one game, but now it has been changed to the Club World Cup, and they have to play two games!

A semi-final, a championship or runner-up final, or three or four finals!

If Millwall applies to the FA for an adjustment to the schedule, it may wait until after the start of the European competition next month. This adjusted schedule will disrupt their established plans.

It's been like this every year.

So on the 24th and 26th, the main lineup played two games in a row. After the game on the 27th, they had to go to the national team. The players in the main lineup were all important figures in the national team. Went to play in the league, but came off the bench, but suffered a loss.

After 38 Premier League rounds and 4 rounds, some media dare to say that Millwall has failed to defend the title and the dynasty has fallen?

Aldridge just laughed it off, laughing at those media sensationalists who are shameless!

But Millwall lost the Community Shield and blamed Aldrich's beard for losing 7 points in three rounds of the league. This is fucking unbearable!

He decided not to change his bearded image at least until the end of this season, and when the season is over, let everyone see whether he deserves the name of doom beard. (to be continued...)
