The Young Lion

After the game, Aldridge shook hands with Houllier in a hurry without any conversation. He just patted Houllier on the arm and turned away. At home in the league, four were poured, and one person was sent off, losing and losing.

It's not that Liverpool can't lose, but the timing of losing is very bad. This is the critical period for Liverpool's new team to grow and improve. Any blow may take a long time to recover and adjust. Houllier's situation is somewhat similar to that of Aldridge back then. When he first took charge of Millwall, he played a conservative anti-counterfeit tactics. He was not afraid that he would not win, but he was afraid that losing would hurt morale.

In the post-match interview, Aldridge seemed a little impatient. Facing the reporter's questions, he would speak lightly and perfunctorily, then went back to the locker room to praise the team's performance, and then let the whole team sit on the bus Back in London, he stayed in Liverpool, enjoying the happy time with his children.

Millwall has been completely transformed this season, especially with experienced mainstays such as 27-year-old Nedved, 28-year-old Larsson, 29-year-old Southgate, and 26-year-old Schneider. With the help of veterans, Millwall's overall stability and lineup age rationality are stronger than ever.

Three days later, Millwall went to Villa Park, Henry scored twice, Larson added the icing on the cake, and Millwall easily won the away game 3-0 without any suspense.

With three consecutive victories in the league and 11 goals scored without conceding a goal, Millwall, who was listed as the favorite to win the championship before the season, has lived up to the expectations of the fans, and the momentum shown is unstoppable!

Just as he was preparing to face the fourth round of the league, Aldridge received a piece of news that shocked him!

Anelka to Real Madrid for £22.9m!

until late August. The soap opera between Arsenal and Real Madrid has just come to an end. Anelka, who shined last season, switched to the La Liga giants.

This transfer news does not make Aldridge feel the slightest surprise.

But. On the second day, Arsenal officially announced a transfer news, which made Aldridge slightly absent-minded in front of the TV.

He stood in the office, watching the news broadcast on the ceiling TV, it was Arsenal's press conference.

Wenger handed the No. 9 jersey to a tall and handsome young man beside him.

On the back of the jersey, above the number, is the player's name.

Ibrahimovic!

God of War Lu Bu,

Uh. God of War Ibrahimovic joins Arsenal with a transfer fee of 3.5 million pounds!

This transfer fee sounds small, but think about where Ibrahimovic moved to Arsenal from, and you can feel relieved, Malmo!

The Nordic League can't keep stars, and it can't keep good seedlings. Half a year after Ibrahimovic joined Malmö, the club earned 3.5 million pounds.

And this amount of money is less than 20% of Anelka's switch to Real Madrid!

Why did Fengxian go to the arsenal?

Aldridge looked pensive.

Suddenly, his expression relaxed.

Ibrahimovic has disclosed it in the original history. Arsenal did offer him an invitation before he switched to Ajax. He was also planning to join Arsenal, but Wenger's attitude made him feel that he was not being respected as he should, and then rejected Arsenal, and went to Ajax in a blink of an eye.

At that time, Wenger had Henry + Bergkamp under him, and he spent half of the transfer fee from selling Anelka to introduce Henry.

But now, it is impossible for Wenger to play Henry's idea. If he can't afford it, it is second. Aldridge is impossible to sell. Why should Henry go to Arsenal? He has the main force at Millwall, has a championship, and plays like a fish in water. Will he go to Arsenal to adapt again? Just to renew the mentoring relationship with Wenger?

Wenger also had a headache for the striker. Even though George Weah, who was grateful to him, recommended himself to vote, Wenger still politely rejected the opponent. The opponent was too old and did not meet Arsenal's youthful team building strategy.

Arsenal plans to announce the new stadium plan in the second half of the year. The team is about to enter a hard and simple life of frugality. Wenger needs to spend a small amount of money to do big things, but the striker still needs to buy it.

So it is impossible for him to say to Ibrahimovic like in the original history: We are interested in you, come and try out.

Ibrahimovic was irritated because the other party asked him to try out instead of directly inviting him to join, so he gave up the idea of ​​joining Arsenal.

But now, Corporal Wenger respectfully offered Malmö a direct offer to introduce Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic could not only land in the five major leagues, but also join the Premier League giants Arsenal. He immediately came to London for a medical examination and quickly completed the transfer transaction.

At this time, Yiwen knocked on the door and asked curiously: What are you thinking?

Aldrich grinned, he thought of a good joke, but no one would understand it when he said it.

It seems that whoever wins Ibrahimovic wins some kind of championship?

Uh huh, did Arsenal buy a patron saint of the league title?

Seeing him smiling strangely, Yiwen walked in and looked up at the TV, suddenly said: He, speaking of it, isn't he the player you wanted to introduce before? Why didn't you buy it?

Aldridge looked at her with a strange expression: How did you know that I wanted to buy him before?

Yiwen's expression became even more strange, and he said in surprise: It's all written in the newspaper! Didn't you read the newspaper?.

Aldrich shook his head and said, I don't have time recently.

According to the text will be eloquent.

Speaking of which, there has been an unhealthy trend in European football in the past two years!

Many well-known or self-confessed talented young players, their agents will release false news: Millwall coach Aldridge is interested in my players!

Some news is true, such as Ibrahimovic, but Aldridge invited Ibrahimovic, hoping that he could join the Millwall youth team, but the other party refused directly, and he was still a free agent at the time.

Some news is false. For example, Gareth Barry, who is already playing for Aston Villa at the age of 18, his agent once claimed that when Elguera left the team, Aldridge wanted Barry to go to Millwall. Take over the vacancy after Elguera's departure, central defender!

Now Barry is playing central defender at Aston Villa. Even if Aldridge really wanted Barry. Nor will he be allowed to play guard. And because Barry's transfer was involved in a transfer transaction dispute that year, Aldridge didn't like trouble, so he didn't have any interest in him at all.

This kind of agent's practice of using other team's interest rumors to sell players is a common trick. The story between Aldridge and Ibrahimovic is true, so Aldridge heard that the other agent put himself in the promotion of Ibrahimovic. He didn't think there was any problem with moving out to improve Ibrahimovic's gold content. Facts are facts, and Ibrahimovic is a good player. It didn't change because he rejected Aldridge.

how are things?

Ivan asked with a smile.

Aldrich smiled wryly, I'm a little tired.

But it's sweet in your heart?

Well, my diaper changing skills have reached the full level.

Hehe, pay attention to rest, don't get tired.

After saying that, Yi Wen turned and left.

At the press conference before the start of the fourth round of the league, Aldridge was asked most by reporters about the transfer of Arsenal.

Specifically asking about his opinion on Ibrahimovic, maybe people want to verify whether the rumors in the newspaper are true.

I know what you want to ask. Yes, once, I sent an invitation to Ibrahimovic. But he rejected me. There is nothing to hide. I respect the player's choice and will not be sad because of his rejection. Life goes on, looking forward, my club, from the first team to the youth team, has hundreds of players, we don't depend on a certain player, we don't expect to be strong if we have someone, and we don't want to be strong because of the lack of someone. And the results have plummeted, we are a whole, a team, the players who are united in the team now, they are the best in my opinion, the most suitable for Millwall, we will use the record and performance to prove this point, As for Ibrahimovic, he has great talent and has the potential to be a top player, but he is not there yet.

In the future, is it possible for Millwall to introduce Ibrahimovic? For example, after he has improved his ability at Arsenal.

Who knows what will happen in the future? But I don't think so. We don't lack strikers in their prime, nor do we lack talent reserves for strikers. I appreciate being able to understand the team's tactical system and form a tacit understanding with teammates. players, but it all takes time, like Henry, after he came to the team for a year, it took him almost 6 months to fully integrate here, now, he is performing better than last season, but if other players suddenly Coming to Millwall, I'm not sure how long it takes him to settle into the team.

After the introduction of Ibrahimovic, will Arsenal's strength decrease or increase compared with last year?

They not only introduced Ibrahimovic, but also bought many other players. Although at the end of each season, the outside world will always comment on the transfer of each club in a single season. It has declined, but I think Arsenal's introduction of Ibrahimovic is a valuable signing, otherwise I would not have invited Ibrahimovic to join Millwall back then. Looking at his figure, the Premier League defenders would have a headache.

Ibrahimovic

Gentlemen, let's get back to the topic? Please give Leicester City enough respect, okay? Today is the pre-match press conference for Millwall vs. Leicester City, not A discussion about the Arsenal transfer.

Aldridge had to knock on the table for reporters to ask something relevant.

But the reporters in the audience were depressed.

Leicester City?

There is a fart news!

The most lively thing recently is Ibrahimovic, who was not only paid by Wenger, but also was spotted by Aldrich before, which is what everyone is curious about.

What everyone wants to see more is: Ibrahimovic gets ahead at Arsenal, and then leads Arsenal to challenge Millwall!

Combined with the story of Aldridge and Ibrahimovic's missed chance, this is fucking news!

The reporters in the audience looked through the information. Leicester City is actually surprising enough. In the new season, they only lost to Arsenal on the road, won Coventry at two home games, and drew with Chelsea. It's no surprise that mid-range teams have achieved this record.

But Fleet Street's evaluation of Martin O'Neill's leadership of Leicester City in the past few years is: create miracles, continue to create miracles!

Leicester City's club budget is the lowest in the Premier League. This is not only the budget for transfers and signings, but also includes operating costs and club salary costs. Therefore, not only can they not buy more high-level players, but the players in the team Tony and Gudjohnsen can't keep them anymore, and they can't afford to raise their wages.

Martin O'Neill is like this. Not only did he not relegate the team, but he has been in the middle and upper reaches year after year. He occasionally wins the League Cup to make the fans happy. In the increasingly competitive Premier League environment, his coaching level is no longer comparable Doubt, instead, everyone is watching how long the miracle of Leicester City can last.
