------------------------------

In the locker room after the game, Aldridge temporarily lifted the ban on national team players not being allowed to go to nightclubs, but added that they must bring their partners.

England's world preliminaries have come to an end, and the players' mentality will be relaxed for a while. They definitely want to celebrate. At the same time, the wives of the England team have also surfaced. In the flashy world of England, it is impossible for the coach to deliberately restrict the private life of the players. Yes, Aldridge eased the restrictions, but asked them to be restrained.

With their own wives or girlfriends watching, no matter how indulgent they are, there will be a bottom line.

The FA was full of jubilation. Chairman Thompson called Aldrich after the game and invited him to attend the reception organized by the FA as a celebration for him.

However, Aldridge still refused to give the sympathy to the rest on the grounds, but let the colleagues of the coaching staff attend.

Let Aldridge realize the existence of the wives, because Melanie is watching the game at Old Trafford with Victoria and the wives of Southgate and other players today.

Next door is Liverpool. After the game, Aldridge declined Melanie's invitation to spend the night in Liverpool. He felt a little tired inside.

Bert and Earl stayed in Liverpool for two days with Melanie, while he boarded the plane back to London alone.

Just feeling a little relieved, suddenly my heart hangs up again.

The World Cup has entered the countdown. It is not only the highest competitive temple for players, but also the stage for top coaches.

Unlike the league and the UEFA Champions League, he has to take a step to see if he can make it to the end. The World Cup is waiting for him in June next year, which makes him unable to relax completely, and even feels that time is a little short.

When Fleet Street began to sing praises for Aldridge, some media even irresponsibly used the adjective great. Aldrich's response was lukewarm.

If England's goal is just to get to the World Cup, then we have reason to celebrate and my job can be declared over!

Aldridge's relationship with Fleet Street is well known, but fans like him and admire him, but they have nothing to do with it.

Just one back to the club. Aldridge makes the majority of England fans love and hate!

Millwall,

It's still the super stable King's Division.

There is a match day this month, and it is the last moment of the world preliminaries, so it takes a long time. The Premier League has only three league games this month, and Millwall has achieved two wins and one draw. Leeds United, which was still ranked second last month, is winless in three games, and even draws with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United.

The predictions that the outside world was not optimistic about Leeds United have been confirmed. They do not have a certain advantage in the strong dialogue. They are 3 points behind Millwall and will end in October. It was pulled to a gap of 7 points and three games.

Manchester United also had a very bad month, with three games, one win, one draw and one loss, conceding goals every game, and the defense problem continued to worsen.

Among them, the home loss to Bolton aroused the anger of the Red Devils fans.

Bolton, the team whose fans stung Manchester United after the Munich tragedy, imitated a plane crash in the stands.

United are eight points behind Millwall.

Arsenal had three games, one win and two draws, and was opened up by Millwall by 10 points, and they could almost declare their withdrawal from the title race.

The first 11 rounds of the Premier League. Millwall has 9 wins and 2 draws. The ambition and momentum of defending the title are all reflected on the field.

There has been something bordering on negative news this month around the focus on Millwall.

Aldridge led his team to Turin in the middle of the month, and the Champions League group match away to the Bianconeri Juventus.

The story of Lippi's second entry into the palace and Juventus started off fairly well. The new Serie A season started with a wave of three consecutive victories, but then fell into a predicament where one win was hard to come by. At this time, Millwall struck strongly.

This king-level contest, which was clamored to be a rematch between Aldridge and Lippi, turned into a seemingly disparity in strength.

Contest?

Not at all.

Lippi is already brewing a new Juventus technical and tactical play, and the team is in a period of fission. At this time, it was impossible to stop Millwall at its peak. The Lions defeated the Bianconeri 2-0 in the away game without bloodshed. The audience only gave Juventus 5 shots and 4 missed.

After the game, Aldridge received an invitation from Juventus manager Moggi. The other party booked a seat in a high-end restaurant in the city and sent a luxury car to pick Aldridge to the meeting.

Unexpectedly, Aldrich didn't dump the other party at all, and Moggie rushed over in person when he got the news, probably thinking that his sincerity should be enough to invite him personally.

Everyone knows what he's thinking.

It may also be that during the match day, Italian players such as Pirlo privately discussed their plans to return to Italy in the national team, and Moggi came to prepare in advance when he received the wind.

After Aldridge accepted the post-match interview, he was about to leave along the aisle of the stadium, when Moggi suddenly appeared and invited him again.

Aldrich pointed at him face-to-face and reprimanded him without grace: Put away your hypocrisy! Don't treat me as a conspirator like you! You know what the fuck you have done! I really admire it. You, you still have the face to appear in front of me!

Mo Ji froze in place, probably because he didn't expect the always gentle young commander to tear his face apart!

There were many staff members in the passage, and some reporters rushed into the passage to take pictures after hearing the news.

Moggie had a gloomy face, and Aldrich walked away with a look of disgust. This scene was captured by reporters, and the staff sold information to the media, which quickly became the headlines of the news.

It's not that Aldridge has never been poached by players, and he has even experienced Manchester United's private contact with players.

But to say how sinful Manchester United's private contact with players is, it seems that Aldrich has double standards. After all, when he dug Van der Meyde back then, wasn't he still sued by the Ajax club?

It is an unspoken rule for clubs to contact players privately.

Back then, Aldrich was angry with Ferguson. The fundamental reason was not that the other party contacted Stam in private. After all, a slap in the face could not be slapped, but because the timing of Manchester United's contact with Stam had a major impact on Millwall's season plan and would affect the morale of the army. , when Millwall was in the sprint stage of the season.

But what Moji did really crossed the line, and it was unacceptable even under the unspoken rules.

Buying the agent, making the players also become victims.

When Aldrich returned to London, he took a cold treatment of the news storm. There will be many versions of rumors from the outside world. If he doesn't talk about it, he won't cater to the reporters. The more he talks, the more he will become the focus.

But the powerful Fleet Street still got a piece of heavy news.

Which club Moggi works for, Millwall does not cooperate with any club!

Now Moggi is at Juventus.

Millwall will not sign from Juventus. Juventus don't want to take a mosquito away from Millwall!

In the European competition, Millwall has established many opponents, such as the two heroes in La Liga, the top three in Serie A, and the top three in Germany, all of which are within the scope of competition.

But at the level of club diplomacy. Millwall's blacklist in the country is Chelsea, West Ham United, outside of the homeland, Juventus is the first to be on the blacklist.

After the turmoil passed, Aldridge led his team to usher in his old friend Martin O'Neill at home. Last season, he went to Scotland to play for the Celtics, the giants of the Scottish Super League. In the first season, he kicked the arch-enemy Glasgow Rangers off the throne and won the support and support of the Celtics.

It sounds like the Glasgow giants in the Suchao are not very competitive at all, and the Celtics have only changed from runners-up to champions. What is there to brag about?

In 2000, the Celtics were runner-up with 69 points, and the Glasgow Rangers were champions with 90 points. The difference between the two is 21 points!

Last season, Martin O'Neill led the Celtics to win the championship with 97 points! Glasgow Rangers' 82 points are still far behind.

From being led by 21 points to overtaking the opponent by 15 points, this is Martin O'Neill's brilliant journey in Glasgow.

Moreover, in the new season, he also led the team to successfully enter the UEFA Champions League group stage. The champion of the Soviet Super League does not have a place to directly advance to the group stage, and must play the qualifying round.

When Aldridge shakes hands with Martin O'Neal at the Lion King Stadium. The photographers on the sidelines kept taking pictures, and many fans in the stands also showed good-natured smiles.

The two have a good personal relationship, and the outside world has heard about it for a long time, and the Premier League has changed coaches in recent years. Martin O'Neill is always a high-profile candidate. He thought he would leave the public eye when he went to Scotland. Unexpectedly, he came back and continued to compete with Aldridge on the higher stage of the Champions League.

Wild Lions fans will remember O'Neill leading Leicester City to cause trouble for Millwall. How capable is this coach?

Just look at the current Leicester City. O’Neal has only been away for one season. After 11 rounds this season, Leicester City has only single digits and 6 points. If they can avoid relegation this season, it will be a miracle. A miracle in!

Thinking back two years ago, Leicester City was a tough nut to crack in the Premier League. They had no worries about relegation, and they could win a cup championship from time to time to make the fans happy.

When will you come back to the Premier League?

Aldrich held O'Neill's hand and asked with a smile.

Miss me?

Although the Celtics' prospects for qualifying in this group are worrisome, O'Neill is in a good mood. With the strength of the Celtics, it is really a dream to snatch the tickets to the round of 16 from Juventus and Millwall.

Aldridge chuckled and said, Too many teams in the Premier League now only play busses, purely defensive. I really miss your side counterattack, otherwise, my players will become lazy.

So you want me to be Millwall's sharpening stone.

Also, let's enjoy the food and talk about football together.

O'Neill stroked his glasses. As a disciple of a generation of legendary Clough, he did have the capital to talk about football with Aldridge, and he also enjoyed the communication process.

Bring me a drink after the game?

No, I have reserved a table at the restaurant in the city.

Hehe, okay, let's see if I'm still in the mood after the game.

Heh, do you still have ideas about the game?

Of course, what style I am, you know.

Aldrich nodded with a smile. O'Neill is the kind of coach who will bite you even if his strength is definitely not as good as yours!

O'Neill has personally experienced the strength of Millwall, but the Celtics may not. Even though the two teams had played against each other in the pre-season warm-up match last season, the warm-up match and the official game are two different things. Stronger than ever!

The Celtics put up a tenacious resistance against the European champions. Martin O'Neill has a good way of training and defending, but the gap in the team's overall strength is unbearable, especially when Millwall's world-class stars suddenly burst out. This will wipe out any careful planning of the head coach to check for gaps and fill gaps before the game.

The Celtics resisted tenaciously for 90 minutes, and finally had to swallow the bitter fruit of losing 0:2. They also played convincingly on the scene. Their counterattack was restricted by Millwall, and their defense was extraordinary. With luck, Millwall hit three wickets, and they may have conceded more.

After the game, Aldridge and Martin O'Neill had dinner at a high-end restaurant in the city. Instead of talking about the game, they exchanged new experiences. Aldridge has coaching experience in the national team, and O'Neill is also experiencing the new football culture in Scotland.

After toasting and toasting, pushing cups and changing cups, the two returned home happily.

In the coaching circle, Aldridge is happy to have a friend like O’Neill. Even though he has a good personal relationship with Wenger, he can talk with Ferguson in private, but after all, due to the limitations of his competitor’s identity, he cannot communicate openly and honestly. . ()
