The Young Lion

Millwall defeated Leicester City at home, but Manchester United, who had been shouting that Millwall would collapse, lost to Derby County at home in this round, making the points gap between the two teams change from 11 points to 14 With six rounds left in the league, unless Millwall collapses, it is impossible to give Manchester United a chance to reverse.

Fleet Street is even worse for Manchester United: Want Millwall to collapse? Let yourself not collapse before you talk about it! Liverpool is only 4 points away from you. If you can't keep the league runner-up, your tickets for the Champions League will fly away, unless you can win the European Champions Cup!

The FA match day came as scheduled, and the players went to the national team to report. Makelele and Trezeguet were called up by the French team for the first time. Before leaving, Makelele ran to Aldridge to express his gratitude. He knew Without Aldridge tirelessly recommending him to the French team, it would be difficult for him to enter the talented French team.

Aldridge has been in a low mood recently because the Richards incident made him very sad.

In the days when there is no first-team game, apart from training with scattered teams, he will go to the cinema alone to watch movies, or stay at home and read books, trying to distract himself.

At the end of the international match day, when the players were about to return to the team, Andrew called Aldridge on the phone, which made Aldridge furious.

People from Manchester United contacted you?

It's not me, it's Yap. They went to the Netherlands. They found a chance to contact Yap during the national team game to discuss the transfer. Yap called me just now. To be honest, the conditions offered by Manchester United are very good. generous.

I see.

After Aldridge hung up the phone, he immediately dialed Ferguson. After the call was connected, he started yelling at the phone.

Alex, Manchester United's season is over. Millwall's season is not over! F-k! Stay away from my players!

Aldridge...

beep beep.

Aldridge hung up the phone.

Manchester United has no hope of defending the Premier League title. The only remaining championship is the Champions League and keeping the league runner-up.

Ferguson is now starting to prepare for the summer, which is understandable. Many team poaching will be carried out before the end of the season.

But Aldrich and Ferguson had a gentleman's agreement, but the other side voluntarily tore up the agreement.

This made Aldridge unacceptable.

After all, Millwall still has key games to play in the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup. If Stam has transfers in his mind, it will undoubtedly affect his concentration on the court.

Moreover, Manchester United may be worried, what if Millwall is a big success this season and Stam is unwilling to leave?

Make a deal with Stam before they have the trophy in their pocket. Even if Stam still has room to repent, he still has to worry about his face and reputation.

When the players returned to the team, Stam really took the initiative to find Aldridge and made a request for a summer transfer.

Aldridge did not hold back. It is agreed that he will leave, but he needs to remain silent in front of the media.

The twisted melon is not sweet. Last year, the master and apprentice also made a promise, if Stam still thinks that Millwall is not as good as Manchester United. Then Aldridge has nothing to say, if the other party wants to wear the Red Devils' jersey, then go for it.

In less than a month, Millwall lost two important central defenders and a main player. A main substitute.

The originally abundant reserves of central defenders became passable in a blink of an eye.

Southgate, Elguera, Materazzi, and Ferdinand, if they are not injured or sick, the four will definitely be able to cope with the future.

In the thirty-third round of the Premier League, Millwall faced the defending champion Manchester United at home.

Because there is a European game in the middle of the week, Manchester United and Millwall have both, so both teams have sent substitute lineups, and Millwall has only the absolute main player Larson to start.

It's very strange. Hall's complexion is a little ugly today. From the time he came out, he didn't show any signs of happiness. Could it be that he was too nervous?

It's not like, why is he so nervous? Even if he loses to Manchester United at home, so what? From 14 points to 11 points, there are five rounds in the league. As long as they win one game, Manchester United must be full. If they win, they draw another game and they can win the championship with goal difference.

Yeah, but why is he unhappy? It's strange. Manchester United didn't send their main players to play today. They want to go all out for the Champions League semi-final against Dortmund.

Aldridge was not even interested in taking a look at Ferguson after entering the field. He walked to the coach's bench and sat down, with his arms crossed and his face calmly staring at the players on the field with sharp eyes.

The fans of the Wild Lions were in high spirits, and there was a huge banner floating on the South Stand, with the pattern of the Premier League trophy printed on it, indicating that the Wild Lions were about to be crowned the crown.

Today Millwall is still playing a 433 formation, but the midfielder is a defensive midfielder plus a double central midfielder configuration. Gattuso is in charge of sweeping, Ballack is more organized, and Lampard tends to insert later.

Larsson and Glenshire double striker, Ruud van Nistelrooy strikes forward.

In the Manchester United lineup, Aldridge saw some unfamiliar faces, including the tragic Cruyff Jr., who played three games on behalf of Manchester United at the beginning of the season and scored amazingly. There's babyface countryman Johnson, and a number of other United academy players.

Manchester United has transferred more youth players from the youth team to the first team this season. More than 15 players have played for the first team, but none of them can gain a firm foothold in the first team. Only a few of the Red Devils' class of 92 finally stood out.

Ferguson has conceded defeat in the league. Manchester United's biggest problem this season is the overuse of young players. Young players such as Beckham, Giggs, and the Neville brothers are not only the main force in the league, but also in European games and cup games. If they don't fall, their bodies can't adapt to the overly tight schedule, and their performance fluctuates. When they are in a good state, they will meet their gods and kill their gods. Once they fall into fatigue, they will be defeated in away games and overturned by underdogs at home.

Ferguson stared at the Millwall players on the field, scanning each player one by one, saying in his heart that he was not envious would be a lie.

Lampard, Ballack, Helguera, Zambrotta, Ruud van Nistelrooy. Ferdinand, etc., the more you look at it, the more amazing it becomes. Where did Millwall get so many good seedlings?

Aldrich really has the magical power to turn decay into magic?

It reminded him of his early trips to Barcelona with Sir Bobby Charlton. They went there to dig some good players, but after seeing Barcelona's youth training system. Sir Charlton said to Ferguson: Come on, what Manchester United needs is not a certain player, but a youth training system like Barcelona.

Although the youth training of the Red Devils was brilliant in the hands of Busby, it also plummeted in the era of Manchester United's sinking. After Ferguson took over Manchester United, he also began to rebuild the youth training. Only then did the class of 92 turn out.

And now. Millwall has also created a youth training system that shocked England. Their investment in youth training is unimaginable. The scale of Leo's youth training base is larger than their home stadium Lion's Den Stadium and the club building.

In the game. Millwall played more patiently than Manchester United. Because Manchester United dispatched most of the players who did not usually play, this made their players more motivated, but they were also a little impatient on the court.

Between offense and defense, Millwall has more opportunities. And it's even more threatening.

Ballack firmly controls the midfield. Although he is not as quick as Pirlo, he wins in stability, and it is no problem to sort out the midfield.

After Lampard plugged in, Ballack passed the ball. Lampard pretended to catch the ball but missed the ball, which caught the opponent unexpectedly. On the left side of the penalty area, Larsson received the ball. The hot shooter just leaned forward and sent Manchester United away. The defender cheated, the opponent thought he would habitually cut in, and Ferguson emphasized that he must keep the inside line.

But Larson dribbled the ball horizontally in the penalty area, and no one of Manchester United's defenders came up to press. Ruud van Nistelrooy's running position attracted the attention of the defense well, and Glenshire's running position on the other side also helped Larson. .

After taking three steps horizontally, Larson swung his legs on the spot and shot with one foot. The ball crossed a wonderful arc and hit the dead corner of the goal.

Beautiful goal, Larsson's 33rd league goal!

Aldridge remained motionless in his seat, while the coaches and players beside him rushed out excitedly.

As long as they win this victory, the points gap between them and Manchester United will widen to 17 points, and they will be crowned the Premier League champion five rounds in advance!

Aldridge thought more. Larson's goal just now reflected his personal skills. After observing the situation, he dribbled horizontally and pulled out a space-accurate arc shot from outside the penalty area. He played very beautifully. This is exactly the best way for future top wingers to score goals, cutting across the middle and pulling out the space to suddenly kick and shoot.

He has to admit that the wake-up call Najib gave him last year was too important.

This year, Larson's skills are still improving, and with the scientific and advanced training mode, he is better than the Larson in history.

Originally during his time with the Celtics, Larson was a player who scored 30+ goals per season, and he also experienced a broken leg!

In Millwall, he improved faster and became better during the same period, which is inseparable from the dedication of the coaching staff.

Glenshire on the other side has also improved rapidly. Although the breakthrough technique is still the same, and the speed is hard, but the route selection and timing have become more mature, and the shooting link has also improved. At least it will not be too outrageous. up.

Manchester United counterattacked for a while and then was collapsed by a wave of Millwall counterattacks from the side. Glenshire dribbled the ball into the penalty area and crossed, giving Ruud van Nistelrooy an assist.

In the first half, Millwall led by two goals. In the second half, Manchester United was unable to resist. Ruud van Nistelrooy was knocked to the ground by goalkeeper van der Gut in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty kick. Larsson calmly scored a penalty kick and finally sealed the score. At 3:0.

This season, Millwall completed a home and away double play against England's traditional three giants, and was crowned the Premier League champion five rounds ahead of schedule.

At the end of the game, the fans in the stands wept with joy and cheered for the players, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Players and coaches also rushed into the field to celebrate happily.

Aldridge's expression was turbulent throughout the game. When the final whistle sounded, he got up and walked towards Ferguson. Before the two approached, Ferguson said first: Congratulations, Premier League champion.

Aldridge's expression remained unchanged, he shook Ferguson's right hand and then released it, turning around to leave.

Ferguson frowned and said, Aldridge, don't be childish.

Aldrich suddenly turned around and said angrily: This is not a child's temper! It's Manchester United who fucking despised Millwall! It's your lack of respect for me! If you don't respect the agreement, don't talk to me in the first place !

Ferguson's face was sullen, and he said in a deep voice: Yap wants to join Manchester United, it's as simple as that.

That's your answer? Very good, fifteen million pounds! I won't let anyone go for less than a penny! Even if you instigate my players to make trouble with me, that's fine. I will agree on the last day of the transfer window. Let go!

After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned and walked into the player tunnel. He would give the players and coaches time to celebrate, but he didn't want to join in, because there was still a big battle to prepare in the middle of the week, and Millwall's season was far from over.

Ferguson's face was livid, he muttered something, and left the field with the Red Devils disciple angrily.

Fifteen million pounds?

Then he-damn it was last year's world transfer record!

It happened to be the price for Shearer to be taken away halfway by Newcastle United.

Are United going to drop the same price on a centre-back? (m)
