The Young Lion

Millwall won the Premier League championship five rounds ahead of schedule, and East London fell into a carnival. Millwall fans gathered in the streets and alleys, and they were running around to tell each other and celebrate. Covered by brilliant fireworks.

The fans in the bar couldn't contain their excitement. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, even if the midnight ban in the UK has not been lifted.

The Millwall players also held a party, and the players and their families would attend in the evening to celebrate the excellent results achieved this season.

After careful calculation, they not only created a record of 18 consecutive victories in the league, but also created a record of 31 unbeaten rounds.

Dim lights were on in the Millwall manager's office.

Aldridge didn't go to the dressing room after the interview because the players were outside celebrating, he went straight back to the office, and then continued to study the Paris Saint-Germain material, he just wanted to let the work paralyze him.

Don't think about Richards' fate, don't think about Stam's transfer...

Two things hit him hard.

Aldridge, come out and watch the fireworks with me! Haha, Brady texted me, they're having a field party in the Eastern Suburbs and they're having fireworks!

Yiwen pushed open the door of the office with great interest, but saw Aldrich with a slightly numb expression, facing the TV, holding the remote control in his left hand, and a pen in his right. It's like a ghost drawing.

Yiwen's excited expression gradually disappeared, she gently closed the door, walked behind Aldrich, and pressed her hands on his shoulders, the picture on the TV was already snowflakes, and Aldrich just stared at the TV, Gritting his teeth, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

what happened?

United want Stam, Stam has decided to leave in the summer.

Are you sad?

No, I'm not reconciled! F-k! In what way am I not as good as Ferguson? Is there anything Millwall is not as good as Manchester United this year? F-k! One by one, Thuram. Pires, now Stam, f-k !Millwall is not good enough for them in their eyes! F-k! F-k! F-k!

boom.

Aldrich threw the pen in his hand on the opposite wall, then put his head in his hands and closed his eyes,

Yiwen couldn't see his ferocious expression, it was full of resentment!

He paid!

He really gave everything he could!

When other people at his age have a love-hate relationship with women, he spends his time on the team and only pulls away when he needs a break, for the team. He poured his heart and soul into it.

The team is invincible in the Premier League this season. The club has also come up with big ambitions. Construction is underway on the new stadium and within five years Millwall will be the brightest team in London, perhaps even in England.

But there are still people who want to go. Some people still abandon him without nostalgia!

Aldridge would like to question Stam face to face: What can you get by going to Manchester United? Millwall can give you everything except fucking money!

Unlike Solskjaer, Vieira, and even Phillips who proposed a transfer this season, Aldridge owes them something. After all, they have strength, but they have no place in Millwall. Aldridge does not want to delay them. career, is to send them away with blessings.

Even Thuram left last year. Aldridge was not emotional at all, because Serie A and the Premier League are not comparable. It does not mean that Serie A has left the Premier League by a few blocks, but that they are two different leagues. It is indisputable that Serie A is stronger.

But Arsenal. Manchester United and Millwall are in the same league, so they are very intuitively comparable. When Pires left, Aldridge felt that the opponent lacked respect for the club. Stam's departure made Aldridge feel humiliated.

Not only him, but Millwall Club as well.

So what if we won the championship five rounds ahead of schedule?

As soon as Manchester United threw an olive branch, the main players immediately prepared to pack their luggage and take the plane to Manchester. Invisibly, they seemed to tell the world: Millwall is still a small silk if he has the championship. stage.

If it wasn't for the person beside him was Yi Wen, Aldrich would not have lost his composure like this.

Yiwen bent down and held Aldrich's face, puffed his cheeks and said angrily: Aldrich, someone bullies us, what should we do?

After venting his emotions for a short time, Aldridge has regained his senses. Seeing the angry face on Ivan's beautiful face, he smiled and said slowly: Whoever bullies us, we will send them to hell!

Yiwen raised his fist and stared: Then, let Manchester United go to hell! Let those ungrateful players regret it for the rest of their lives! Their departure from Millwall is not Millwall's loss, but the biggest mistake of their lives. ! Aldrich, you can do it, I believe in you, because you are the most cunning.

At the end, she raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a touching smile.

Aldrich looked up at the ceiling, closed his eyes and laughed.

Why does it sound like you're hurting me?

No, that's the best compliment you can give!

Yiwen stood up, pulled Aldrich out of the seat, straightened his suit, and said with a smile, Don't be in a bad mood, let's go and have a drink.

Aldridge adjusted his emotions, tidied up his desk, and finally left the club with Ivan, and drove to the eastern suburbs of London. Brady held a barbecue party in the suburbs with over a hundred people. , every Roar member had to take a photo with Aldrich, everyone sang and danced, set off fireworks, and imagined a more brilliant future for Millwall.

 …

The flames of war in Europe were rekindled, Millwall won the championship ahead of schedule, and completely withdrew from the league. The remaining key battles are the domestic FA Cup semi-finals, and the two rounds of the European war against Paris Saint-Germain. After finishing these three games, if all goes well Pass the test, then the rest is the final in May!

In the first round of the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners Cup, Millwall played away first, and arrived in the French capital a day earlier than expected. On Tuesday evening, there were a total of 44 players from Millwall's first team and youth team, plus the coaching staff and entourage. The crew parachuted into Paris in mighty fashion.

The youth team drove low and high during their trip to Norway last month. They were bloodbathed by the Bran youth team in the first game. After that, they played heartily in the two friendly matches. So in the confrontation with Paris Saint-Germain, Aldridge also contacted the French club. The friendly match of the youth team allows the boys in the team to have more opportunities to exercise. Also to meet the world.

Compared with last month's trip to the European War, the time is tight. This time, as a guest in Paris, Aldrich led the team to arrive one day earlier. After getting off the plane, he asked the team leader to take all the luggage to the hotel, and he took the players on the streets of Paris Hanging around, he has been here before, and he still has some impressions of this fantasy city, so they don't need a guide.

They had dinner together in a high-end restaurant that Aldrich remembered as being very good, and in the evening, they visited places of interest. Players also bought some souvenirs for family or friends. The boys in the youth team were even more excited. We took photos together along the way.

After shopping all night and letting the players relax, the players returned to the hotel to rest honestly, and they could rest for most of the day the next day. In the afternoon, I will go to familiarize myself with the field, and then I will have a simple training and warm-up day, and then I will compete in the evening.

The day before the game, Aldridge led the team to adapt to the venue at the Parc des Princes. At the same time, he attended the official press conference held in Paris.

Because he understands French, he had no difficulty communicating at the press conference, which is a positive image for him personally. It is not difficult for players from different language countries to communicate with him directly, and he will not be left out in the face of reporters. From the perspective of publicity, Aldridge is the kind of person that the media likes.

Millwall won the Premier League five rounds ahead of time, and at the same time created a record of 31 unbeaten games. Next, you will focus on the European war? Do you think Millwall's strength can win the trophy?

Facing the French reporters, Aldridge replied in a low-key manner: The game is played one by one. Now it is only the semi-finals. It seems that we are very close to the championship trophy, but maybe it will be another situation after 90 minutes. , especially, we are facing the defending champions, they have good coaches and players, they are the favorites because they have more experience than us.

I heard that you know Coach Fernandez. In the previous interview, he spoke highly of you, thinking that you single-handedly shaped Millwall into the top team in the Premier League. He warned the Paris Saint-Germain players that if they underestimate you , then they will bid farewell to the final. Do you think he is a kind of psychological warfare?

Aldridge said: Yes, we know each other. I appreciate Coach Fernandez. He is just doing his job well. His team is very strong. Therefore, he must avoid the team's thinking of underestimating the enemy. If I were him , I will do the same.

Compared with him, who do you think is better? We have seen that many British media used words such as tactical seeker or skywalker when evaluating you, thinking that you will always There is an ingenuity to make the team win, at least in this regard, who is better, you or Fernandes? You must know the tactics of Paris Saint-Germain, right?

Facing this harsh question, Aldridge smiled wryly in his heart, the world is as black as crows, reporter, reporter.

I don't judge my peers. This is a kind of respect. An excellent head coach should know how to teach students according to their aptitude and make the best use of the situation. If you only say one-sidedly which coach has done what and other coaches have not done, then compare it. Ignorance and superficial. I look forward to tomorrow's game, but tomorrow's result will not change my appreciation and respect for Fernandez.

 …

After dealing with the reporters, when night fell, Aldrich stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel suite. From his position, he could vaguely see the Paris Parc des Princes.

In the current era, Paris Saint-Germain is an important part of the French football map, and even the European football map.

Three years ago, Paris Saint-Germain ranked first in the world in the rankings of the International Federation of Football History and Statistics!

Two years ago, Paris Saint-Germain set a record for a Ligue 1 team in the Champions League group stage.

In recent years, it has been ranked the top three in the European War points rankings, and has been the top of the list.

Last year, Paris Saint-Germain beat Bayern Munich to become UEFA's best team of the year! At the same time, it became the first and only European Cup Winners' Cup champion in the history of Ligue 1!

Since 1991, the investment of the TV industry giant canal+ and its full ownership have opened the prelude to the era of capital for Paris Saint-Germain, making Paris Saint-Germain's budget always the top three in Ligue 1. However, this year in history, It should be the beginning of the sinking of Greater Paris, and it did not rise again in France until almost fifteen years later.

Aldridge looked at the Parc des Princes under the night, envious from the bottom of his heart.

Not this stadium, but the natural environment of Paris Saint-Germain.

Paris Saint-Germain is the only big football club in Europe that enjoys the resources of tens of millions of people. Who is their mortal enemy? There is no city rival of status, but Marseille.

It is hard to imagine that the big team in this magical city will no longer be the focus of Europe or even France due to internal strife in the next 15 years.

Alas, waste of money.

Aldrich could only sigh in this way.
