The Young Lion

Millwall's triumphant return from the Bernabeu has undoubtedly become the most sensational news in Europe.

But in addition to the game process report, the two Millwall players have also become hot topics in the media.

The first is Henry. This season has come to an end. Henry has been recognized as one of the world-class strikers through his outstanding performance throughout the season. With Larsson as his internal competitor, he still played perfect statistics, and his performance in the French national team has also become stable and excellent. The outside world is sure that he will become one of the iconic figures among forwards of an era.

The second is Ronaldinho.

Youth team, reserve team, first team, Ronaldinho's third season in Millwall's first team turned expectations into reality. He scored twice at the Bernabeu. Those who criticized his poor mental quality and missed a penalty kick last year shut their mouths. In 2000, Ronaldinho was the number one star in world football.

Moreover, his name is completely different from those young Jun Yan who often appear together, he is already a real star.

In every era, there will emerge a large number of promising stars who are defined as future protagonists, such as Barry, Woodgate, Chivu, Appiah, Riise, and Donna who are still playing central defenders. Ti, Maresca, Pinardi, Leal, Smith, Santa Cruz... Some of this large group of young people are hailed as geniuses, some are prodigy, and they all It can no longer be talked about side by side with Ronaldinho's name.

Harvey, Casillas, Eto'o, Saviola, Aimar, Cassano and others also have a reputation gap with Ronaldinho.

People who live in professional football, as long as they kick the ball well, fame and fortune will come naturally.

When Ronaldinho became a star, he was inevitably touted by the outside world. But it caused internal conflicts in Millwall.

Someone in the Millwall team was dissatisfied with the status quo and expressed their views directly to the media.

On the afternoon of the third day back in London, Aldridge finished his preparations for the weekend away game against Sheffield Wednesday, and then he was dragged into the office by Evan. The other party handed him a manuscript of the news.

Aldrich took the manuscript in his hand and looked at it. There was the logo of Star Newspaper. The original manuscript of this news manuscript was accompanied by pictures, and the protagonist in the picture was the Dutchman Van der Meyer.

The relationship between Ronaldinho and the boss, I think no one does not know. The boss likes him, values ​​him, and treats him completely beyond the normal standard. I don't know, I am worse than Ronaldinho. Difference.

But I just can't get the trust I deserve. If the boss asked me to play the main force after the Ukrainians and Frenchmen left last season, I would definitely be no worse than the Brazilians. That's it, it doesn't matter how much you earn, I don't think I get the respect I deserve at Millwall, I don't want to waste my time here...'

After reading it, Aldrich raised his eyelids and asked solemnly, Is the news true?

Yiwen nodded and said: The interview ended at noon, and there was a recording. My work team unanimously confirmed that it was Van der Meyde.

Just then, Aldridge's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that Andrew was calling.

He gave Yi Wen a wink, and the other party understood and turned around and left the office.

When Van der Meyde was signed that year, Andrew also took advantage of the opportunity to become the opponent's agent.

After Aldrich answered the phone, Andrew's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

Have you heard about Van der Meyde?

Ok.

Leave this to me. I promise to shut him up.

No, you made a mistake. The news will be in the newspapers tomorrow. You will solve it? What about me? Do nothing? Wrong, I will solve it!

That......

Find him a home.

After Aldrich finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

He leans against the desk. Turning around and pressing the hands-free button on the phone on the table, he dialed Adam's number and gave straightforward instructions.

Notify the sales department that Van der Meyde's jersey will be removed from the shelves and the club will list him publicly.

what?

Need I repeat that?

Understood.

After hanging up the phone, Aldrich picked up his cell phone again and dialed Van der Meyde's private number.

After getting through, he didn't wait for Van der Meyde to speak, and said calmly: Starting tomorrow, if you want to come to the club for training, you can go to the reserve team, or you can go directly to vacation.

Van der Meyde was eating in the restaurant. He was a little nervous about what he said in the interview at noon. When he saw Aldrich calling, he thought that the boss would persuade him to let him feel at ease in the club and give him some promise.

However, he was dumbstruck while holding the mobile phone to his ear, and the fork in his hand fell to the plate, making a crisp sound.

incredible!

He was thrown out like garbage.

Aldridge did not inquire, did not retain, and directly sentenced him to death sentence in Millwall.

The next day, the report of Van der Meyde's interview with the Star came out, which quickly attracted the follow-up of major media.

Millwall went to Sheffield Wednesday, which was in the whirlpool of relegation. Except for Henry, who continued to start, all other positions were used as substitutes. Van der Meyde should have entered the squad and made his debut, but he disappeared, and Joaquin replaced him. .

Sheffield has a goal of relegation on Wednesday. There is not much difference between 1 point and 0 points for them, so they dare to fight at home, and Millwall counterattacks the opponent in a targeted manner to train the young lineup.

The process was quite thrilling. Millwall finally defeated Sheffield Wednesday 3:2 in the away game. Since the Premier League will drive fast next week, Aldridge let Henry resist the pressure. Anyway, this is what Henry himself hopes. He has to work hard Refresh the number of league goals.

In the post-match press conference, no reporter cared about the result of the game, because Manchester United had won against Southampton the day before, and Millwall could not win the championship ahead of time no matter what the result was in this game, but they won, and there are four rounds left in the league, taking the lead Manchester United has 12 points, and there is no suspense in winning the championship. Even if Millwall loses all the next four rounds and Manchester United wins all, Manchester United will be runner-up because of the huge goal difference disadvantage. Of course, the theoretical possibility still exists, but as long as the next round, Millwall is unbeaten. They will definitely declare success in defending their title.

The reporters present were only concerned about one thing: the turmoil caused by Van der Meyde.

Mr. Hall, have you read today's interview report on Millwall player Van der Meyde?

Aldridge looked as usual, and said with a smile: I see.

What is your opinion?

Opinions? There are countless people in this world who have countless opinions, but they have no effect on reality. Therefore, opinions are never important. Yesterday I informed the player himself and his agent that Van der Meyde can go to find a new club. , Millwall also officially listed Van der Meyde on the transfer market today, I don’t want to waste his time. I wish him luck, this matter is perfectly resolved, and that’s it.”

The scene was silent, and many reporters present looked at each other in blank dismay.

This he-damn wrong!

Everyone wanted to watch a good show, and everyone wanted to see Aldridge's battered side. I can't wait for Millwall to become a mess inside, and if a few more players come out to express their dissatisfaction, it would be even better!

Aldridge didn't see any new questions for a long time. He nodded to the reporters and got up to leave.

The reporters who have been tracking and reporting Millwall all the year round are not very surprised. Even Giancarlo, the reporter of Gazzetta dello Sport in the Premier League, takes it for granted.

The next day, The Times made a major report on the Van der Meyde incident.

No way, there is no news from the Premier League.

champion? Millwall's.

And Millwall has been on fire recently. Just defeated Real Madrid in the away game, and it seems that one foot has stepped into the final. At this time, even if Millwall farts, someone will come to watch!

David Miller wrote that Van der Meyde's fate was his own fault.

first. Van der Meyde committed a big taboo, and this taboo has a lesson from the past, that is, his compatriot predecessor Stam.

The time point when Stam's transfer to Manchester United was in turmoil was when Millwall hit the first league title, and when the European Cup Winners' Cup also entered the sprint, the situation was roughly the same as it is now.

at this time. Millwall needs absolute internal stability, the generals are single-minded, and the personal interests of the players must not override the team. Van der Meyde committed crimes against the wind. When Millwall was the focus of the whole of Europe, his remarks skyrocketed.

Just like how he dealt with Stam back then, Aldridge acted vigorously and never delayed the incident to heat up and ferment, causing greater impact and disturbing the morale of the army.

Secondly, Millwall is no longer the Millwall of the past, and neither is Aldridge. His current authority cannot be violated in the slightest.

Van der Meyde is dissatisfied and wants to be taken seriously. This is human nature. Seeing that other players in the team are popular and want to be one of them, what's wrong with that?

But he used the wrong method. The Millwall team is strictly disciplined. The first rule is that the internal affairs of the team are insulated from the outside world. No one can bring out the locker room affairs.

He could talk to Aldridge in private, but he opened his mouth directly to the media. This choice is no different from suicide.

In the end, the content of Van der Meyde's remarks was the catalyst that Aldridge had to expel him as soon as possible.

If Van der Meyde just complained, Aldridge will definitely give him a chance, or everyone can find a solution in a friendly and proper way.

However, he directly named Ronaldinho in the interview, which also sounded like a kind of competition, but some words were hidden in his heart as a situation, and after he said them, the situation changed completely.

Ronaldinho has proved himself and has made an indispensable contribution to the team's brilliant record this season, and Van der Meyde also performed very well as a substitute, with 4 goals and 9 assists, playing in a limited number of games He can be called a super substitute, but what he said can easily be understood as a kind of provocation, which forces him to definitely not get the support of most people in the Millwall dressing room, qualifications, playing time, contribution, all aspects He is not as good as Ronaldinho, can he stay?

Aldridge must let him go. At least in the two options of leaving and staying, Van der Meyde leaves. Aldridge can establish authority and stabilize the interior. Leaving him will instead bury hidden dangers. The critical phase addresses derived issues.

David Miller made some reflections at the end of the article.

He believes Aldridge's role has completely changed.

Aldridge, who joined the team six years ago, is the owner and also the coach. He has authority, but whether he can convince the crowd is a huge question. Thuram, Solskjaer, Stam, Pires and other players Leaving may be due to doubts about the young marshal's ability in his heart.

But six years later, Aldridge, who has become one of the most eye-catching coaches in European football today, has completely established the prestige and authority of the head coach. Nedved, Southgate, Larson, Schneider Germany and other players who will be greatly tempted every transfer period. They follow Aldridge wholeheartedly. The key factor is that they are convinced by this young coach. If they follow him and play under him, they will be able to achieve glory. The Golden Globe Awards and countless medals in the honor collection room of Ersen and Nedved are the best proof.

Millwall's times have changed, van der Meyde should feel sorry for himself, he should not only see Ronaldinho soaring, he should see that there are many, many players who want to play for Millwall now And not get a chance.
