The Young Lion

It was already late at night when we returned to London. Aldrich disbanded the team after walking out of the airport, hugged every player again, and said tirelessly in everyone's ears: Go home and have a good rest.

However, there must be many players who cannot fall asleep immediately after returning home. The state of physical excitement is still going on, and a long cooling time is needed.

On the way home, Aldridge took out his mobile phone to reply to those friends who sent him congratulatory messages, among which Smith Carter sent five text messages in a row, full of excitement between the lines.

Regardless of whether he was a friend or a representative of Standard Chartered Bank, Aldrich smiled and congratulated him.

Millwall has advanced to the Champions League final, and the sponsors are naturally more excited than the fans.

When they reached the semi-finals, the sponsors acted collectively. Although Millwall may not be able to reach the final, it is necessary to prepare early. If you really wait for the results of Millwall's game today, everyone will prepare again. If you want to publicize and build momentum, you will inevitably miss the best publicity stage in terms of timing.

Before the season, Puma wanted to launch a new jersey, but Millwall officially rejected it, but now, they proposed to rush to produce a set of UEFA Champions League final jerseys, and Millwall club readily agreed. Come out, if Monaco is eliminated, it will be mass-produced immediately and sold on the shelves. At that time, the players will also wear special final jerseys to play.

Millwall broke into the Champions League final, and the fans were very satisfied with the team's performance. Even though they will fail to defend the title this year, everyone seems to be happier than last year.

After a little excitement, Aldridge suppressed the joy of advancing to the final. He knew that if he got carried away now, he might usher in unforgettable regrets.

On the team training field the next day, most of the main players were given a holiday. They were going home late at night, and it was still a question of when they could fall asleep. Chapter 318 Played and kept the game, so the main players had almost half a month to prepare for the game Champions League final. Originally, the main players could play in the final game. But Aldridge didn't want to take any chances. There were too many variables in that game, and it might have been very tragic. He couldn't take the risk of injury to the main players.

When the players train hard, the job of the coaches is much easier.

Aldridge in sportswear and Benitez stood on the sidelines chatting. On this bright afternoon, both of them were in a good mood. Aldrich looked up at the blue sky with his chin raised, and couldn't help muttering: It's only one step away, the top of Europe!

That is a legendary height, a football sanctuary that only a handful of coaches can reach. Hasn't Aldridge ever dreamed of it? No, he was thinking about it day and night!

From there now,

Just the last step!

But it's one step away. Maybe not as close as I thought.

Benitez smiled and said.

Aldrich nodded and sighed: Yes, we are so close, we will see in two hours. Rafael, you are leaving. Right?

Benitez replied: Your insight is amazing. Yes, I plan to return to Spain in the summer and take over a second division team.

Without you, my work will be even harder.

With the reputation of Millwall, it is absolutely possible to hire a good enough assistant coach.

Here in the club, everyone has a role to play, but it's not just work. I will miss the time when we prepared every game together.

me too.

Aldridge had already prepared for Benitez's plan to leave. The opponent is not a pool thing, and it is impossible to nest in the position of Millwall's assistant coach. In the past two years, Benitez has also opened Vision, at least you can see the football scenery that you could never see in the Real Madrid b team before.

He also regained his confidence in the bleak early stage of his coaching career. He sorted out and summed up his own football philosophy. They have their own unique styles. Even the head coaches from the same football style faction have very different personal characteristics, and the successful teams they create have unique brand marks.

Aldridge will wish Benitez the development of returning to Spain, but at the same time, he is also looking forward to: when we meet again in the future, where will we be?

The time and place may not be certain, but they will definitely be tit-for-tat enemies. Such a scene must be particularly interesting.

In the weekend league, Millwall sent away Southampton, who had just successfully relegated and had no desires, at home 2-0 without bloodshed. In the same round, Arsenal defeated Barnsley with two goals in an away game, and Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace with three goals in an away game. In theory, the probability of winning the championship has become very small, and the realistic runner-up has little hope, and Manchester United has expanded its goal difference figure.

At the end of April when there was no game, Millwall officially held a press conference, and reporters from Fleet Street flocked to it, wondering what Millwall would announce when it suddenly held a press conference.

Reporters from all walks of life asked each other for news before coming.

Is there a player who wants to transfer?

Like Stam did last year!

Not too possible.

Some players dare to have an affair with other clubs at this time. This is simply a matter of outrage. The Stam incident last year left a deep impression on everyone. No player wants to play in the Champions League final, even if he is not the main player. Don't you want to go to Holland with the team? If he was sent to the reserve team, he really wouldn't be able to go!

Everyone guessed and guessed, but they couldn't guess what happened.

So he rushed to the Millwall club without stopping with doubts.

In this press conference, Aldridge did not appear, but Yi Wen came forward.

The layout of the press conference was different from before. After the reporters sat down, there was a large TV screen on the wall of the stage facing them.

Ivan stood beside him, smiling decently and said: The theme of today's press conference is Millwall launching the UEFA Champions League final jersey and two UEFA Champions League final promotional videos, as well as the announcement of the Millwall Junior Football Charity Cup.

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling like they were being tricked.

Daring Millwall called them here to help them with publicity.

But since it's here, let's take a look. It's news anyway, and you can give your boss a job by writing. It is also good to enrich the content of the newspaper.

There is only one dark blue jersey for the Champions League final, because Real Madrid will wear the traditional white jersey, and Millwall doesn't care. Their home and away jerseys are dark blue and black this year, and there is no clash with Real Madrid's traditional white jersey. possibility.

This special version of the UEFA Champions League final jersey has changed the neckline style, and at the same time embroidered the pattern of the big ear cup on the arm position, and marked the year below: 1998.

There are no major changes, but some Champions League elements have been added, which will make the club money and the sponsors excited.

Journalists snapped photos of the special edition jersey. Then Yiwen took the remote control to control the big screen. Introduced to the reporters on the scene: This is the 318th chapter of Jin Shock staged.

The combination of the goal scenes edited from the game is just right, and the moment of a goal can be seen in almost less than a second, and the effect like machine gun fire is exciting.

When the feast of goals is over. The slow motion of the players celebrating appeared in the picture, clearly showing the players' facial features, and showing the wild charm of their unique men under the rendering of special effects.

Larsson, Trezeguet, Nedved, and Shevchenko are the four protagonists.

Then the screen once again entered a series of quick highlights, Pirlo, Ballack's wonderful pass, Makelele, Gattuso's steal, Schneider, Capdevila, Zambrotta's sharp assist, Solskjaer. Sgate, Elguera's strong defense, Bout's excellent save, and finally some wonderful moments from the substitutes.

This kind of collection is especially eye-catching when it is done and played at a slightly faster rate.

Then, the screen returned to the Lion's Den stadium, but this time the camera angle was flat. On the pitch, figures appeared out of thin air. They were Millwall's main lineup. They appeared in a V shape wearing the special edition jerseys of the Champions League final. , and behind them, came the substitute players, forming a big V-shaped formation.

As soon as the picture changed, a man appeared in the dark scene. Only his chest below the neck was seen. He neatly tied the tie with both hands, and then reached for a suit. With a shake of his shoulders, the suit was put on .

The scene changed again, and it was the player tunnel of the Lion's Den Stadium. The blond man in a suit and leather shoes came out of the dark passage and stood in front of the V-shaped team. He turned around with a serious face and sharp eyes. , it is the Wild Lion Marshal: Aldridge.

Immediately afterwards, the screen switched to the stands of the Lion's Den Stadium, which was edited from the video of the game. It was the fans cheering passionately for the team. They selected the most exciting and shocking scenes from countless classic cheering scenes. The moment is played out in slow motion.

Finally, back in the Lion's Den Stadium again, Aldridge led the team to line up in a V shape, and in the empty stands of the stadium, fans appeared bit by bit out of thin air, and the flags of the Wild Lions covered the stands, making the whole picture full and full of excitement. Shocking.

A line of shining words appeared on the turf in front of the team formation.

Battle Amsterdam!

When the promotional video ended, the scene was silent at first, and then the reporters began to applaud and whisper to each other.

Millwall made this promotional video so fucking passionate!

And from the community culture around the club at the beginning of the film to the appearance of the fan group as the twelfth man at the end, if this promotional film removes the words decisive battle in Amsterdam at the end, it can be used as a promotional film for Millwall every season. Of course, it must be ensured that the players appearing on the screen are still wearing the Wild Lions jersey. ()
