The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves and 202026 for their rewards!

Some reporters may think that Aldridge was a little carried away when he was at Millwall's position and peak.

The Champions League is full of strong players, and the situation is unpredictable. Even if Millwall is recognized as the strongest, it may not be able to steadily achieve the feat of three consecutive Champions League titles.

But Aldrich did not say these words for outsiders, nor did he show his arrogance.

He was speaking for the Millwall people, the fans, the players, everyone who cares about Millwall.

Since Millwall is recognized as the strongest, he doesn't have to pretend to be humble and low-key, deliberately flatter his opponents and create psychological pressure on the players.

When Millwall was in glory, it had to complete its transformation.

From ethos to club image.

In the past few years, Millwall has changed from a lowly team to a strong team. The outside world will think that Millwall is a strong team. After becoming a rich team, its competitive strength is also among the top five in Europe. Make Millwall even more special and transcendent!

In the past, they were the strong among the weak, but now they are the kings among the strong!

The pursuit of the team, the goal of the team, the spirit of the players, the inner sense of pride, and the sense of superiority externally must be shaped to a certain extent.

This is no different from social phenomena.

Everyone is equal is the biggest joke.

Part-time workers are divided into grades, and bosses are also classified into high and low. Why don't the bosses of large companies feel superior? Why can't there be?

The same is true on the green field, why are Manchester United and Real Madrid so self-confident? Why do you have a disdainful temperament?

Why do some players frequently say that it is an honor to wear the jersey of a certain team?

In addition to the club's background and current strength. There is also the biggest factor. It is the pursuit and goal of the club.

Two years ago, Millwall could be said to have played patiently in the Champions League. Strive to go further.

Can you still say that now?

It's a shame not to be in the top eight!

Failure to enter the top four is a failure!

This is the basis of Millwall's existence now,

Performance pressure and goal pursuit are completely different from the past.

As for whether Aldridge's words will cause psychological pressure on the players, Aldridge thinks so: wearing the Wild Lions jersey should be stressful, and have the ability and will to overcome pressure!

At the end of the press conference, we talked about the theme of tomorrow's game.

Four years later, the East London Derby rekindled the war. The gap between Millwall and West Ham United has reached an indescribable distance. With such a disparity in strength between the two sides, what kind of trend do you think the game will take? Millwall An easy win for Wall?

Aldridge's expression became completely serious, and he said in a deep voice: The significance of the East London derby is not the difference in strength between the two teams. The derby between Millwall and West Ham United, the deadly rivals, is definitely not as competitive as the Madrid derby and the Spanish derby. , Italian Derby, Milan Derby at such a high level, but the East London Derby has lasted for more than a hundred years. The influence among the local fans of the two teams is huge, and this kind of confrontation has been passed down from their ancestors. Years ago, West Ham United were relegated, and four years later, they returned to the Premier League. Now, Millwall and West Ham United have met. Simple, decisive battle between rivals! If we lose the East London Derby, even if we win the championship, it will cast a shadow over this season, because we will make fans reluctant to recall this season and the injury of losing to the rivals Pain, for the game, I have two words to say, the first is to the players of Millwall, this game must fight with all your strength! The second is to say to West Ham United, don’t try to dominate the game in a rough way, We will pay close attention to everything that happens in the game. You can foul on the field, but you can’t use violence. The alliance pays the price!

Aldridge's influence on West Ham United brought him a warning from the FA and a £5,000 fine.

Even so, Fleet Street still believes that once a situation similar to that of West Ham United players shoveling Lucas Neil into a serious injury occurs in the game, the FA will still stand on Millwall's side, and the person involved will inevitably be punished by the FA. Heavily punished. After all, Aldridge and the FA are always in the same boat now. This is the consensus of the outside world.

The current coach of West Ham United, Glenn Rodell, strongly protested and accused Aldridge's remarks. Because of Aldridge's influence, what he said caused a huge reputation loss to West Ham United. Pay attention to Odridge. Delic fans may not know much about West Ham United. Hearing Aldridge's one-sided words, they seem to think that West Ham United is a hooligan team.

This made the fans of the Hammers almost explode.

Speaking of hooligans, ten years ago, the Hammer Gang's hooligan reputation was not as good as the Wild Lion!

Millwall headed north across the Thames to Upton Park.

More than half of the London police force was dispatched. Since the morning of the game, they have come to the radiation community of West Ham United in East London to maintain order. Mounted police can be seen everywhere in the streets around the stadium. The Millwall bus slowed down after crossing the Thames. Speed, slowly driving towards Upton Park Stadium under the protection of the police car clearing the road.

A large number of West Ham United fans greeted the Lions in a traditional way.

As Aldridge said, the East London derby will never change because of the strength gap between the two teams.

Like when the Wild Lions were not as good as the Hammer Gang in the past, the Hammer Gang will not reduce their hatred for the Wild Lions at all, and will not despise each other because of their superiority, and Millwall is the same.

Compared with the past, there are fewer fights between football hooligans, but there must be more. It is estimated that in some abandoned stadiums and factories, the football hooligans of the two teams have already started fighting.

It was hard for Millwall players to sit on the bus not to be attracted by the hostile fans on the street outside.

They once visited the devil's home stadium in Turkey, where the fans seemed to watch them go to the devil's lair and watch them go to the execution ground.

The attitude shown by the Hammer fans is full of hatred.

clamoring to overthrow the mad lion.

This hatred. Not relieved by victory. Even if the opponent is dead. Let's also flog the corpse to celebrate!

Many West Ham United fans can't forget that four years ago, when Aldridge led his team to win the championship in advance, he used the substitute lineup to kill West Ham United at the last minute and directly sent their beloved Hammer to help After entering the hellish League One, they struggled in hell for four years, and they finally crawled back!

In this game, the Hammer Gang definitely has a low chance of winning. Even if it's a home game, but besides victory, it's a bloody and dignified battle!

Many players in the Millwall team cannot understand this kind of hatred that is beyond the scope of competition. The players who will play this game today must not understand West Ham United's blood changes over the years.

West Ham United is now an authentic mercenary team. The former European garbage United is still living on cheap foreign aid, and Millwall has players with their own youth training background. But there is no real Millwall player.

Like Pirlo, he belongs to the Millwall youth training. But even though he had experienced the East London Derby, he still couldn't understand where the deep-rooted hatred between the two teams came from. He only knew that everyone hated each other, so he followed the mainstream and could only hate.

Ronaldinho, a product of Miao Honggen's Millwall youth training, has more questions than anyone else today, such as why the two teams hate each other, why there is such a big resentment, it can be seen that he actually can't understand the East London derby.

Veteran players, like Southgate, Nedved, and Larsson, have hatred for West Ham United. In addition to the influence of the fans, it also stems from the fact that West Ham United shoveled Neil into a serious injury. .

No one knows what kind of professional height Neil can reach. Since he was 16 years old, he has been playing the main force under Aldridge. If it weren't for that serious injury, maybe he is not just a reliable substitute player for Millwall. For a player at the most critical age of growth, it is equivalent to at least half of his talent!

Millwall, West Ham United, the players of the two teams have no doubts about the attitude of this game. They don't need to understand why the two clubs hate each other. They just need to know that this is what the local fans need. !

Half of the popularity and achievements of the players are due to their own efforts, and half are due to the fans.

Without fans liking you, you have no commercial value, and without commercial value, there will be no more media to promote you.

And if there is no support from local fans, you will not be able to live a satisfactory game at home. Even conversely, if there are home team fans booing you every day at home, won't your competitive state be affected? The psychological pressure can also be imagined.

So that slogan is absolutely true: fight for the fans!

Millwall is a world-class club. It is impossible to know how many fans like them around the world, but the most important thing is the local fans. They buy tickets to watch the game. This is the most intuitive economy. Interest, they cheer for the team and a certain player in the stands, which is also the most intuitive group interaction that can affect the players and make them feel.

After four years, Aldridge revisited his hometown and came to Upton Park Stadium again.

The whole team was warming up before the match, and Aldridge was sitting alone in the locker room. He didn't want to go outside and cause a commotion. He knew that every Hammer fan wanted to tear him to pieces.

Because he not only led Millwall to defeat West Ham United, but also humiliated the Hammers with arrogance.

This reason is enough for him to be remembered, and it is definitely enough for him to be permanently hated by the Hammer fans.

In turn, it made Aldridge more deeply loved, permanently remembered and admired by Wild Lions fans.

The players looked dignified when they returned to the locker room. During the warm-up, they felt the pressure brought by the stadium.

If going to Turkey is a guest at the Hell Stadium, then playing at Upton Park Stadium is like entering a no-man's land, chaotic and disorderly, the fans in the stands insulted them, threw debris, and the game did not start. A large number of security guards surrounded the stands, almost forming an alternative landscape.

Aldridge looked at the time. The game was about to start. He stood up and said simply: In this game, you are heroes if you work hard to win the game. If you lose the game lightly or slack off, you are the unforgivable fans. A sinner, and so am I.

As soon as the words fell, Aldrich opened the door of the locker room and walked out.

This game is as simple as that.

If you fight hard and win, you will be the hero in the hearts of the fans.

If you are afraid and lose, you are the sinner in the hearts of the fans.

No matter how successful you are in the past and how much contribution you have made, this game is unique and special, and it is different from the rivalry between Millwall and Chelsea.

Aldridge was wearing a warm coat today and walked steadily along the player channel towards the stadium.

When he had seen the natural light in the stadium, he had already waited for two stadium security guards on both sides of the exit of the player tunnel to protect him. When he walked out of the player tunnel, the security guard raised an umbrella and hit Aldridge on the head to be continued……)\t()
