The Young Lion

The Premier League championship has entered the sprint stage. Apart from the obvious advantage of Millwall, the top four teams are in a relatively comfortable position. Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea are the top three behind them. From Kyiv back to London, Millwall will usher in a game In the London derby, the opponent is Charlton, who is geographically closest to them among the Premier League teams.

In the early morning of Friday, Aldrich drove to the club to go to work, and many reporters gathered at the gate of the club. Their characteristics were more obvious, that is, they were young and newcomers in this industry. Generally, experienced and old reporters would not stop by to find them. For news, especially in the football circle, well-known journalists have their own information channels and use their personal networks to obtain the latest news and even exclusive reports.

Aldridge's car slowed down at the gate of the club, and the newcomers and reporters rushed up to take pictures of him beside the car and asked him questions.

Mr. Hall, Millwall's Champions League semi-final opponent is Bayern Munich. Do you think this is a good or bad signing? Does Millwall have the confidence to reach the final at Camp Nou?

Manchester United and Juventus have been drawn together. If United win and Millwall goes to the final, the two teams in the Premier League will meet in the final. Do you think this will happen? Does this represent the opening of English football in Europe? The prelude to rule?

I heard that you are good friends with Juventus coach Carlo Ancelotti. If he asks you the secret of restraining Manchester United, will you help him defeat Manchester United?

 …

Aldridge just drove normally and slowed down and turned into the club, only to be surrounded by reporters. He was very disgusted that this happened. It's not that he is arrogant and playing big names, so he closed the car windows. He drove into the club without answering any questions.

Some reporters looked disappointed, while others lowered their heads and cursed a few curse words in a low voice.

The Champions League semi-finals came out, and Millwall defeated Dynamo Kyiv without bloodshed.

Manchester United beat Inter Milan to advance to the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich swept Kaiserslautern 6-0 in the German civil war.

Juventus beat Olympiacos 3:2 to advance to the semi-finals.

Millwall and Manchester United from the Premier League appeared in the top four list, which made Fleet Street excited. The strong recovery of the Premier League in European football is beyond doubt. Now everyone is looking forward to the English Civil War at Camp Nou!

Aldridge felt a bit unlucky, Millwall drew Bayern Munich, the strongest of the three opponents in his opinion!

Bayern Munich in the 98-99 season,

In the minds of many Bayern fans, it may be the decade of the 1990s, and Chapter 396 after the new millennium should be criticized.

After the game, the Millwall first-team players did not leave. They stayed at the club to hold a team meeting. Southgate, who will return from injury in the next game, took the lead in stabilizing the morale of the army, allowing all players to focus on the game in the next one and a half months and pay attention to every opponent. !

Aldrich's anger is not unreasonable, as usual. In the middle of the season, Millwall's performance can definitely win against an opponent like Charlton, but he emphasized before the game that at the end of the season, the opponent's paper strength is a secondary factor. The opponents of the two major groups will be more powerful than usual.

The top-ranked teams will compete for tickets to the European War, while the bottom-ranked teams will strive to avoid relegation, and they will fight their opponents every game.

On the contrary, those mid-range teams that seem to have good strength have no desires. The game is easier to play.

In the same round, Manchester United struggled at home to beat Derby County, which is striving to enter the UEFA Cup, 1-0.

Arsenal beat relegation team Blackburn 1-0 thrillingly at home.

Chelsea beat Leeds United 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, almost shattering the opponent's dream of hitting the top three for Champions League tickets.

In this round, the top four teams will either face the relegation team or the front-running European team. It is extremely difficult for the other three teams to win, but Millwall was tied. The Premier League championship is even more exciting.

The next day, the headline on the front page of The Times read: The most suspenseful season ever!

Millwall is only two points behind Manchester United and four points behind Arsenal and Chelsea. With 6 rounds left in the league, although Millwall still has the initiative to win the championship, Manchester United's winning odds have soared wildly, almost equal to Millwall, because Millwall will face Chelsea in the last four rounds With Arsenal, the probability of Manchester United's fisherman's success is very high.

The Millwall first team is fully engaged in their preparations.

Midweek. Aldridge at the UEFA press conference, Millwall vs Bayern Munich in Chapter 396 of the Champions League semi-final, the focus is on the game, if the league is distracted, then we can't win.

Can you talk about Hitzfeld? He said after the draw that it was a test for Bayern Munich, he called you a young marshal and thought you had a magic that could make such a young team incredibly strong , the outside world underestimated Millwall before the season was absolutely wrong.

Aldrich smiled when he heard the words, and he replied: I respect coach Heathfield very much. He is a senior, and compared with him, I am obviously still a child. Hehehe, he led Dortmund to win the Champions League. Bayern Munich is going to hit the Champions League, and his ability to train the team is admirable.

Will Millwall go all out in the stance in the first leg?

Attack will definitely happen. If you can't win the opponent in London, then the team will be in a very dangerous situation when you go to Munich, but the premise is that you must do a good job of defense. We must limit the opponent's away goals.

Southgate just came back, will he play tomorrow?

Yes, the captain of his team, his comeback will bring positive factors to the team.

But can he limit the striker combination of Jankel and Elber?

I never think that defense is a one-on-one contest between an offensive player and a certain defensive player. We will restrict the opponent's overall performance layer by layer from the forward line, the forward line, the midfielder line, and the back line. That's the best way to do it, in other words, if Jankel and Elber don't get support, they don't have a chance to play.
