The Young Lion

The grievances between Arthur and Bates are well-known among the chairman of the Premier League club. Arthur and Arsenal vice-chairman Dane are not dealing with each other. On Arthur's hatred list, Edwards ranks third. However, he Some old perverts who look down on Manchester United, because as long as they roll up their sleeves, the other party will immediately become a coward.

Manchester United and Arsenal have found various reasons to exclude Millwall since Millwall was promoted to the Premier League last year. Apart from the small stadium and poor reputation, the most important reason is that Millwall got Millwall through family power. With more broadcast revenue, Millwall is not only a traditional force that challenges the old Premier League competitively, but also infringes on their big share in terms of intuitive economic interests.

But it took Millwall two seasons to silence Manchester United and Arsenal, which in turn was replaced by Arthur's cynicism to Dane: When will Highbury expand? Oh, it seems that there are residential buildings around, so there is no room for expansion, right?

It was just a lazy gesture to Edwards, as long as the other party was not provocative, Arthur didn't want to have any interaction with that old pervert, as if the other party was covered in semen from head to toe and made him sick.

As for Bates, apart from the fact that everyone is a mortal enemy, the most important thing is that Arthur can't stand Bates' arrogance. Obviously Chelsea has nothing, but he thinks that he has contributed the most.

Bates is a speculative businessman who was notorious before he became the chairman of the club. In the European financial circle, he has made several investments involving millions to tens of millions of pounds. Simply put, his ass is not clean .

And football is a very closed circle. The independence of the FA makes it so that no matter how fierce the internal struggle is, once external forces want to intervene in football, they will be strongly rejected by them, regardless of right and wrong.

Bates has the identity of the chairman of the Premier League club to clean up the past. His high debts in running Chelsea's investment have also caused controversy, but it is difficult for the outside world to investigate the operation of his club, not only the FA Rejection, the Premier League will also oppose the investigation, because behind the scenes of every club there is a laundry list of dirty and shady transactions.

Bates, a shrewd and cunning businessman, not only built the grand and huge Chelsea Village in his ideal. He also took the initiative to provoke a war in order to increase his popularity. Before confronting Arthur, his opponent was Dane. However, Arsenal have not been doing well in recent years, so he turned his guns and aimed at Millwall. Anyway, the two clubs The original hatred is enough to raise the topic.

Arthur sat beside Bates, enjoying the wine and waiting for the game to start, while Bates kept a gloomy face and said nothing.

Old bastard, I heard that you recently publicly questioned the source of the Hall family's assets? Hehehe, I heard a joke about a thief shouting stop thief.

Arthur spoke tepidly while holding his wine glass. The expression is slightly feminine and unpredictable.

Bates' heart skipped a beat. He is unscrupulous. When attacking Dane, he would hire a private detective to investigate the other party, and when it was his turn to open fire with Arthur, he would repeat the same trick.

He made remarks to the media, questioning whether the Hall family's financial resources can afford the financial expenditure of the magnificent new stadium. At the same time, it implies that the Hall family has changed from a glass seller to a billionaire in ten years. Is there any trick in it?

Arthur didn't look sideways, and continued to say calmly: Business matters, Bates, I am not as good as you, and I don't care about these, it is all managed by my three sons, but if you want to play this way, we It’s just fun, I’m also curious about Chelsea’s financial situation, where do you get so much money to buy players and give high wages, your Chelsea village is empty all day long. Is it really making money? Hehehe, I asked my eldest son, he Tell me, in the European business circle, our Hall family still has quite a few friends, and I think we can find out a lot of inside information. Do you really want to play? Dare to play? Can you afford it?

Cold sweat dripped from Bates' forehead, he gritted his teeth and said, Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!

He probably just remembered at this time that he played around in the past, and it was just a capital game of millions of pounds, and the Hall family had assets of more than 200 million pounds three years ago, and in these three years , wealth growth is still a jaw-dropping rate.

Based on the connections in the circle, the Hall family's reputation is well-known, and he is not much different from a street mouse.

Arthur took a sip of his wine and laughed, Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding, just misunderstand. Alas, I might feel lonely without you.

He said it as if he was joking, but he had another thought in his mind: If Bates continues to do so, Chelsea will become more and more in debt, have no record, and wait until they go bankrupt...

In the away dressing room at Wembley Stadium, Aldridge stood in front of the players with arms folded.

Everyone knows that today is our last game of the season. I believe you will treat this game with 300% seriousness. However, I want to talk about two points. The first point is mentality. Double-killing Chelsea in the league, this may make you underestimate the enemy, now I will give you a minute to ask yourself, have you ever thought in your mind: Chelsea? You are defeated, and victory will be at your fingertips!

The players looked at each other, seeing Aldridge's stern face, some players immediately lowered their heads in shame.

Many people do think so.

England's traditional three giants were double-killed by them. They just defeated La Liga giants Barcelona in the European Cup Winners' Cup. Ask 10,000 neutral fans the same question: who is stronger, Chelsea or Barcelona? Among them, more than 9,000 fans will say: Barcelona, ​​and the rest of the fans will ask: Who is Chelsea?

The answer is obvious. According to this reasoning, Millwall played Barcelona 4:1, so playing Chelsea is not like cutting melons and vegetables?

Aldridge didn't look relaxed. He knew that today's game had many unfavorable factors for Millwall. On the one hand, the cheering momentum of the fans in the stands was not uniform. On the one hand, the competitive factor included that the players had just returned from the Netherlands. Just like Barcelona, ​​the body will be exhausted, and after a big battle, especially after winning, the mentality will be a little bit high.

Give you two more minutes and you forget the Chelsea double in your mind and think back to the two league games we've lost this season, one cup game and seven unwinnable draws! Thinking through those games, Think about it, are those opponents stronger than us? Why didn't we win?

The players had already understood Aldridge's intentions at this time, and their spirits became solemn and their faces were serious. Put away all contempt.

Aldridge continued: You basically all experienced last season when we won two cup trophies, remember our mentality at that time? We almost let the trophy be taken away by Aston Villa because of our mentality. We are more anxious in the game, and our eagerness to win the trophy affects our performance. Today, Chelsea is the same. Their last trophy was the European Cup Winners’ Cup 26 years ago, and the FA Cup was 27 years ago. Thirty years without a trophy. The heart is extremely hungry. The mentality is very urgent. They not only want to prove that they are better than us, but also want to be the starting point for the club to become great, but we will not give them a chance! This is what I want to talk about The second point: our posture!

The players stared up at Aldridge. Nod seriously.

It is also the final, but Aldridge will not talk about honor and spirit with players.

Clichés sometimes don't make much sense and don't work the same way.

Millwall is the defending champion of the FA Cup. The players have won this honor. They have already won two trophies this season. In addition to the advantage of the match record over Chelsea, if Aldridge only uses pale words to boost the morale of the players , is estimated to have little effect.

Like his tactical layout. He will patiently let the players understand why he wants to play like this and what effect the tactics will have. Only when the players understand themselves can they better implement the tactical concept.

We're more tired than Chelsea, there's no question about it. We don't have to lie to ourselves, we had a tough game two days ago and you guys were unbeatable. If you want to replicate what you did two days ago today, I think at least from running It's impossible to move. Don't think that this is me hitting you, provoking you, no, I'm just telling the truth. I don't want you to put pressure on yourself, force yourself, which may hurt you. The whole world will attack There are countless teams, our tactical system is very mature, and you are also very good at attacking routines, but I hope to see a mature side of you and a more mature side of the whole team!

Hearing what Aldridge said, everyone was curious, and Nedved asked: Boss, what should I do?

Being more mature means that they have become better, and no one wants to make themselves better.

Aldridge said indifferently: A team that can attack is not terrible, but what is terrible is a team that can attack as it pleases but knows how to bear it. I mean, we have to control it from the overall situation, from the whole game. Competition, rather than pursuing periodical bursts, this is dominance! When we are physically fit, we can oppress our opponents throughout the game, but what about when we don’t have the advantage? We also want to win, and winning makes opponents feel desperate. This morning's tactical arrangement, many of you may think that I am too cautious, I don't think so, I think it's time for you to understand what a real top team is, we can't just rely on momentum to win , relying on explosive power to win, what is a real strong team? When the state is good, it can win beautifully, and when the state is not good, even if the game is not good, it can still win! This is the real strong team. All the powerhouses whose opponents are fearful and desperate are the ones who let the opponents have nothing to do but watch us take the victory even though we are obviously at a disadvantage!

In the locker room, all the players were shocked.

Looking at Aldrich with a firm expression, they felt incredible, and while they were shocked, they also felt a strange feeling in their hearts.

If you are in good form, you can win beautifully, but if you are not in good form, you can also take away the victory.

Who wouldn't want to be such a strong man?

There is no need to deceive yourself into thinking that players will be at their best in every game. There are ups and downs in the player's state, either because of his body or his mind. Anyway, there are thousands of reasons for his bad state.

But if they can win when their physical condition is not at their best, it will obviously make them more mature and more dominant on the court.

Today, you are going to play such a dominant game, and I firmly believe that you can do it.

After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned and left the locker room. (m)
