The Young Lion

English football has been full of excitement recently. The soap opera of Manchester United's change of ownership is still on the air. The Red Devils fans are protesting fiercely, but Murdoch's acquisition is coming to an end. It is rumored that the transaction price is about 620 million pounds.

Although Manchester United fans have criticized Edwards for many years, thinking that his crimes against Manchester United are too numerous to read, but even if Manchester United fans want Edwards to get out, they cannot accept Manchester United, which has British traditions, as the private property of Americans.

In order to appease the fans, Edwards even officially announced that the new owner will retain the club's traditions after taking over, hoping that the fans can accept the reality rationally and allow the club's transfer transactions to transition peacefully.

Everything seems to be a certainty, and Manchester United will usher in a new boss. However, the British government suddenly intervened in this transaction. The Fair Trade Commission prevented the two parties from completing the final transaction procedures on the grounds of reviewing the transaction.

Murdoch has a huge property in the UK. If he didn't own a property in the UK, he could justifiably buy Manchester United, but when the British government intervened, he began to have scruples.

One wave is not flat, and another wave rises again.

The match between Millwall and Wimbledon caused an uproar after the game. The FA's series of heavy fines for Millwall was the first to issue a huge reaction, but it was not Millwall. Millwall seemed to be angry Bao, the FA penalty, they accept, nothing else.

However, there was strong opposition within the FA first.

Maybe not many people know that Aldrich and Wiseman changed from friends to enemies during a meal, but it was right. Wiseman's political enemies in football circles were the first to attack, claiming that Millwall had suffered a very serious injury. That game was a disaster, rising to such exaggerated heights as a disaster in the entire Premier League and England.

This is the same method used by the Premier League to use the topic to attack opponents after exaggerating the effect of the facts.

The chairman of the referee committee even publicly apologized to Millwall, directly admitting that it was the referee's level of law enforcement that caused the mistake and damaged Millwall's interests on the field.

When Wiseman made the statement that The FA reconsiders whether to loan Wembley to Millwall, Aldridge has already led the team to Italy.

In the city of Milan, before the official start of the UEFA Champions League press conference. Aldridge sat in the audience, sitting next to David - Miller, he wanted to conduct a brief interview with Aldridge, Aldridge did not refuse.

Did the last league game hit you hard?

Can't say no,

But sometimes this kind of thing happens on the football field. Some misjudgments are indeed mistakes, and some misjudgments are premeditated.

David Miller frowned: Are you accusing Horn of deliberately keeping Millwall from winning?

I don't know. But people who watched that game have their own judgment standards in their hearts. In fact, I admire Horn, really, as the referee, blowing off two of our goals and missing one of our penalties , Ha ha. Changed another referee, made one of the mistakes, and probably couldn’t sleep well for a month. He can withstand the pressure of public opinion, and his inner strength makes me admire. This is not sarcasm, but the truth.

Aldrich's remarks are sincere. Some people are born to be used as guns, but it is not easy to be a good gun.

David Miller sighed: It is said that the referee committee has deprived Horn of the qualification to enforce the Premier League. If there is no new opportunity, he will not be able to enforce the Premier League or important cup games in the future.

Aldridge thought inwardly: The rabbit is dead.

Have you heard what the FA chairman Wiseman said?

About Wembley? Well, I've heard that it's nothing. Originally, Millwall was the one who borrowed it. The FA has the right to rent it to us, and of course it also has the right to refuse, but even if they decide not to rent it, that's up to them. Wait until next season.

Aren't you worried? Millwall's new stadium should not be available next season. If you still want to compete in the Champions League, where will you play? Are you spending a lot of money to upgrade the stadium specifications of the Lion's Den Stadium? Meet UEFA's Champions League match site requirements.

After thinking for a moment, Aldridge smiled and said: I don't know yet, things haven't reached that point yet, there is no need to think about what to do in the future now, if the FA doesn't rent the stadium to us, Millwall will definitely not play in the Lions. There are big changes to the Hole course, especially as we expect to move into the new course in 2000.

Miller hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: Aren't you friends with FA Chairman Wiseman? Why would he raise this matter at this time?

Aldridge nodded and said: Yes, he and I are friends, and the relationship has always been very good, and it is the same now. But work belongs to work, and personal relationships belong to personal friends. Wembley is not Wiseman's, but the FA. In England, when Arsenal also want to rent Wembley, maybe the FA will always consider the loan income before reconsidering this matter. I think this is normal. If I am Wiseman, I will also think about it, listen to Arsenal's loan offer and see if it can bring more income to the FA, everyone knows that the FA's finances have not been very optimistic.

David Miller looked at Aldrich with deep eyes, and after finding that the other person's expression was the same as usual, he threw away the thoughts in his heart just now.

At that moment, he had a thought: Aldrich's words implied murderous intent.

That's right, everyone knows that the FA has financial problems. Since the Premier League broke away from the FA's control, the FA's revenue has been declining year after year. It used to rely on the four-tier professional league to maintain its livelihood. Later, the League One restructured the Premier League. Not only does it stand on its own, but it also sacrifices the interests of the lower three professional leagues. The FA has turned from being well-off to food and clothing, and then has become heavily indebted and unable to make ends meet.

Everyone in the English football circle knows this kind of thing, but Aldridge suddenly brought up the financial problems of the FA at this time, especially in the context of factional confrontations within the FA, Aldridge is not a friend Wiseman's scar?

After thinking about it, David Millers felt that Aldridge might be young and inexperienced. Straight talk, the city is not deep. Otherwise, this kind of question that should be avoided should never be said from the innermost part of him.

Other media reporters came to the scene one after another. Aldridge walked back to the stage. He came early today, so he chatted with Miller a few more times, accepted a simple interview, and then came the official press conference of the Champions League.

Everyone at the news scene of Millwall's heavy penalty in the Premier League knows it. But no one cares, everyone is looking forward to tomorrow's game, Millwall will challenge Inter Milan away.

The newspaper with the largest circulation in Europe is Gazzetta dello Sport. Giancarlo has started to follow up and report on the Premier League this season. He is very happy to see that Millwall can visit Italy again in the Champions League.

Here, he felt as if he had come home, and Aldrich also gave him face. Answer his question first.

As the defending champion, what is the goal of the first round of the group stage?

Aldridge said without hesitation: Of course it is to win! I have good memories in Italy. Inter Milan is very strong. They have the best forwards recognized in the world, plus Baggio, Djorkaeff and other talented players. Millwall likes a strong opponent, and only by defeating a strong enemy can we experience a special pleasure.

There were quite a few reporters from the Italian media at the scene. When they heard Aldridge's words, they immediately felt that this person was speaking outrageous words!

Millwall are the defending champions well. But the strength of the two teams is compared, Inter Milan does not matter from the strength of the starting players to the thickness of the team lineup. Not weaker than Millwall.

Giancarlo smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: Is this your psychological warfare? I want the people of Inter Milan to hear your wild words, and then tomorrow at San Siro, Inter Milan will press hard. Your team can Take advantage of the speed to hit the opponent's counterattack, this can easily take away the victory, right?

It has to be said that in Italy, a country of academic tactical paradise, professional journalists have more tactical knowledge than journalists from other countries.

That doesn't mean the other reporters didn't think of it, but not so soon, especially since they didn't know Aldridge's style as well as Giancarlo.

Even if Aldrich was exposed face to face with his wishful thinking, he still had a calm smile on his face.

Psychological warfare? Hehe, think about it from another angle. Don't Inter Milan focus on attacking at Meazza? Will they be conservative in the face of the young Millwall? Mr. Giancarlo, I just told the truth. I can't say Millwall are happy to come away and get a draw, we're the defending champions.

Giancarlo asked with a smile: Even if Millwall's lineup is incomplete, you still firmly demand that the team must win tomorrow?

I rarely give death orders to the team, requiring them to win a certain game or win a certain championship. My requirements for players are different for everyone. My standard is to judge according to their performance. Some People can achieve 90 points, but only 60 points in the game. Even if we win, I am not satisfied. So, in tomorrow's game, I will only ask the players to perform better than usual. As for victory, I believe that as long as they do what I ask, the end result will be what we want to see.

Aldrich spoke freely and freely, but a reporter asked him a very helpless question.

After the former Inter Milan coach Simeone dismissed get out of class, he said that the reason for his dismissal was that you suggested to Moratti to invite Hodgson to coach again. Is this true?

Aldrich sighed inwardly.

He felt innocent.

Moratti has invested heavily year after year, but he can't touch the league championship he wants most. Even if Simeone led his team to win the UEFA Cup last season, he was still dissatisfied. At the same time, Millwall reached the top of Europe. Ratti didn't know what was going on, and seemed to think that England's coaches were awesome, so he remembered Hodgson who had coached Inter Milan.

To be honest, when Hodgson first coached Inter Milan, the cards in his hands were not as good as they are now, but he was able to bring Inter Milan to the third place in the league and the runner-up in the UEFA Cup, but missed the championship with a penalty kick. Let Hodgson take over the current team, it must be better than Simeone.

So, Moratti called Aldrich in the summer to ask for his advice. At that time, Aldrich felt strange, and he didn't know why the other party asked him. He couldn't say that Hodgson was not good enough, so he could only follow Moratti's advice. In order to reply to the other party, Moratti finally made up his mind and invited Hodgson back directly in the summer. Therefore, when the Champions League draw was held, Hodgson had a warm conversation with Aldrich as soon as he came up...

It has nothing to do with me who Inter Milan chooses as their coach.

Facing the media, Aldridge could only muddle through.

There are too many mistakes, and it is enough to simply and clearly clarify the relationship. (To be continued.
