The Young Lion

Aldridge's management of the team is now only focusing on the general direction. In the transfer market, recruiting or selling players is directly negotiated with the manager of the opposing team. As for the contract remuneration of player renewals or signings, Aldridge will not personally ask. The job is given to Adam.

For example, if he thinks it’s time to give a certain player a new contract, he can tell Adam about raising a salary level, and Adam will have a bottom line, and then he will come forward to deal with the player’s agent, or talk directly to the player.

As the head coach, the scope of Aldridge's communication with players is limited to the nature of football, and he will not bargain face-to-face.

In the game against Chelsea at home, Ferdinand was kicked off the bench and replaced by Neil. Aldridge needed Ferdinand to calm himself down.

It’s not that the future Ferdinand is worthless, but that the club is a pyramid structure. The locker room has established a stable order over the years. Aldridge doesn’t care how other teams manage it. .

Ferdinand was not challenging the authority of his coach, but he was disrupting the order of the dressing room, making this stable structure a negative factor.

In the salary of a defender, he has been in the team for as long as Materazzi and Neil. He is only a substitute for his contribution to the team, and his ability is still improving. Obviously, he is not the mainstay of the team. , Aldridge admits his future potential, but if he wants to ask for a higher salary than Neil and Materazzi now, second only to Southgate and other main players in the first team.

Aldrich would say sorry to him and tell him to fuck off!

This is a very simple choice, if Aldridge satisfies him, he will stay, and then? What do the other bench players think? What about the main players?

Their big contracts are all won by winning one by one. It is a reward after making a greater contribution to the club's contribution to the club. Why should a substitute double his contract because of the seduction of another team? So can they do the same? When the wealthy came to seduce them, they also asked for higher rewards?

Leeds United, a team whose reputation and strength are no longer comparable to Millwall's, wants to poach people. Naturally, they have to learn from Chelsea, invest heavily in the transfer market, and give players high treatment beyond their worth, otherwise. Why do people condescend to go to your place?

Even if Ferdinand only asks for a 30% contract increase, Aldridge will not directly kick him out of the squad. He has no time to analyze the career prospects for Ferdinand, and some players are eager for quick success. It is natural to become famous and rich, and to make quick money, whatever you want.

The Lions Den Stadium was packed.

Millwall and Chelsea players prepare to come on in the tunnel.

Vialli stood in front of the coach of the visiting team with a dignified face, while Aldridge looked calm. Sitting on the coach's bench, chatting with Jenson from time to time.

His relaxed and confident posture is for the players to see.

At this time, if the coach is so nervous that he sweats as if the building is about to collapse, it will certainly affect the mentality of the players.

A London derby in the 36th round of the Premier League in the 1998-99 season is about to start. Millwall ushered in a challenge from Chelsea at home. In yesterday's game, Manchester United was tied by Leeds United at Elland Road. This result Unsurprisingly, Leeds United is unstoppable under the leadership of O'Reilly this season. If Leeds United's bench depth and team can be more mature, maybe they will also join this season's chaotic and exciting championship drama! Manchester United is now alone Sitting at the top of the standings, but the lead is only 1 point. Millwall and Arsenal kick off at the same time today. Once one of the two teams wins, Manchester United's top position will change hands. Chelsea is 3 points behind Manchester United, behind Arsenal and Millwall have 2 points, they seem to have the hope of winning the championship, there is no doubt that today's game will be the biggest uncertain factor in the championship situation of the top four teams!

Players from both sides played, Millwall still played 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Guard: Schneider. Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfielder: Makelele. Pirlo, Nedved.

Forwards: Larsson, Henry, Glenshire.

Chelsea also use their 442.

Goalkeeper: De Houer.

Defenders: Freire, Leboeuf, Desailly, Le Saux.

Midfield: Petrescu, Di Matteo, Wise, Poyet.

Forwards: Zola, Flo.

When entering the field, you can clearly see the players of the two teams with their heads held high and their chests high.

Following Manchester United's draw yesterday, the title race has returned to Millwall.

This allows the players to concentrate on their game without looking at other people's faces.

Now it is equal with Arsenal and the goal difference is behind, it doesn't matter.

There are three remaining games, Chelsea today, Everton next week, and Arsenal in the final game of the Premier League. If they can’t win all of them, the Premier League title will belong to someone else.

To win the championship, defeat all powerful enemies!

With three rounds left in the league, Chelsea's hopes of winning the championship are slightly slim.

Even if they win today and tie with Manchester United, they may still fall behind to Arsenal, not to mention that their goal difference with Manchester United is too big.

However, they still maintain the ambition to compete for the championship in their hearts. No matter how bad they are, they must reach the top three and strive to enter the UEFA Champions League next season!

This battle, without a doubt, is the battle of Tianwang Mountain!

Before the game, Aldridge did not engage in a psychological battle with Vialli. There was no need for it. There is no doubt about the fighting spirit of the remaining three opponents. It is impossible for Chelsea to come to the Lion’s Den for a draw. It is meaningless. It will only make them drift away from their dream of entering the Champions League. The difference between their top three teams is at least 2 points, and a tie will add 1 point. Does it make sense?

When the game started, the two sides who had carefully prepared for this game launched a confrontation!

The pace of the game was very fast at the beginning. Both sides fought for every inch of ground. The ball was played concisely and quickly. The purpose of going forward was very clear. It's strange. Is Millwall's defense using offside tactics today?

At the beginning, Di Matteo picked a pass to Zola. As a result, Bantam got the ball on the penalty area line and directly pierced through the goal. The line referee raised the flag to signal offside first, and it was very obvious.

Offside?

Of course not, Aldridge also started the next stage of team building after defeating Munich.

The back line seems to have a lot of premise, but in fact it starts to press high pressure and launch a quick counterattack after stealing. This tactical arrangement is also a future trend. I often see a scene in a football match: a counterattacks against b, is intercepted in the midfield, b turns around and immediately fights a counterattack, back and forth, it depends on who is more efficient in killing the opponent's attack High, whoever makes a mistake when the offensive and defensive rhythm is extremely fast, whose offensive player can seize the opportunity!

In fact, this is the premise of defending the key areas. What kills is not the opponent's last blow, but the opponent's fatal pass. Destroy the opponent's offensive organization. Once the midfield interception is unfavorable, the high-pressure press will not be effective, and the probability of being penetrated through the defense line is very high. The rest will only depend on the ability of the goalkeeper and the opponent's forward to seize the opportunity.

Players from both sides fought each other in the midfield. Di Matteo just took the ball and turned around and passed it to Petrescu on the wing. Zambrotta went straight up to steal the ball, and then passed it diagonally to Nedved, who then knocked the ball back to Pirlo. Pirlo kicked a pass to the penalty area. Henry and Desailly lost to each other in the confrontation, but Desailly headed the ball out of the siege, and the little Wise lost to Larson in the fight.

Larsson headed the ball and then gave the ball to Pirlo, Millwall continued to attack.

The pace of the game today was blindingly fast and Millwall didn't seem to give the other side a second to breathe.

Pirlo passed Di Matteo with a fake fax, and then made a diagonal pass to the left. Glenciel took the ball and cut in, crossing the middle, and Henry succeeded in offside. Glenciel snatched the ball from Leboeuf and went behind the opponent. Henry went around to the outside of the ball's rolling route while running, and rubbed the ball against the ball. The ball hits the side netting at the far end of the goal.

Millwall scored in the opening 11 minutes! Henry opened the scoring and the winger-turned-centre striker is getting better and better in the box! Hall has brought in another promising world-class striker forward!

Aldridge raised his arms and shouted from the sidelines.

After Henry scored a goal, he pointed at Glenshire and laughed wildly. They ran to the sidelines together and greeted the fans in the stands.

After the defeat in Munich, the unwavering support of the fans made them go all out to repay them.

The European Champions Cup, they fell into the sand, and the league championship, they vowed not to miss it again!

After being eliminated by Bayern Munich, Aldridge reflected on it. Although he was eventually eliminated by a penalty shootout, he believed that such an exit method was not the heroism described by Fleet Street, but a wimp!

He thinks it's time to take risks when it's time to win!

Even if you lose, it will still be vigorous, but in the process of taking risks, your chances of winning will also be improved.

So against Chelsea, if he doesn't play psychological warfare, Millwall will take the initiative. Even if Chelsea's situation forces them not to be conservative, Millwall still gives up the seemingly more secure defensive counterattack or offensive and defensive balance system.

High-pressure press, mad attack!

Compete with the opponent's player ability and willpower, to see who can't keep up with the opponent's pace in this frequent offensive and defensive rhythm, and to see whose forward is better at seizing opportunities!

What should I do if I lose?

Now is not the time to lose.

Years of coaching experience told Aldrich that there is no safe way to win the final victory on the football field, only adventurers have a chance to become winners, and they are cautious and scrutinized. Maybe it’s just an ending where all the tricks are exhausted and nothing happens. .

Vialli frowned watching the situation on the field, and Chelsea fans entered a familiar state: pessimism.

Whenever they encounter Millwall, they will start a fixed mode: the first stage, full of expectations, ambitious to kill the enemy! In the second period, the game started, Chelsea conceded the ball first, and the fans began to pray. In the third stage, Chelsea conceded another goal, and the fans fell into despair. In the fourth period, the game is over, Millwall wins, Chelsea fans leave the field, waiting for the next confrontation and this mode starts again...

It is said that Aldridge is the most hated man in West Ham United, but if you ask Chelsea fans who they hate the most, they can't count how many Millwall players have broken through their gates, but basically everyone will answer Aldridge Strange, curse him to leave early, the Hall family better go bankrupt as soon as possible, and Millwall disappears from the Premier League.

Today, they seem to have entered a familiar rhythm again.

If Chelsea loses this game, not to mention the hope of winning the championship, I am afraid that even the chance to enter the Champions League will also disappear.

Chelsea fans roared in the stands almost with grief and indignation, cheering for Chelsea players.

Work hard, fight hard, kill Millwall, we don't care if they win the championship or not, but we hope to see you stepping into the European Champions Cup next season! ()
