The Young Lion

The players were given a holiday, but Aldridge was working overtime.

At night, when it was time for him to rest, Ivan knocked on the door and pushed it in. He half leaned into the study and asked, Have you seen the result of the game? Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 at home. Qualified to the semi-finals.

Aldrich was slightly distracted, looked at the time on the bottom right of the computer screen, realized that the game was over, and said, No accident.

Aldrich, pay attention to the time.

Well, I'll finish my work after tidying up and go back to my room to rest.

Yiwen backed out after hearing the words.

Aldridge's desk is very messy, full of notebooks, tactical notebooks, computers to check the latest information at any time, and there is a TV two meters away, playing game videotapes at any time.

However, when he sorted it out, he was very orderly. On the closed page of a notebook, he drew a 343 formation map, marked the basic routines of the players' running positions, and the route arrows of the offensive and defensive conversion system. At the top of the page, there was written a Country name: Brazil.

That's right, in Aldridge's preparations, he has already started to study the Brazilian team, but in fact this is just one of his opponents.

The advantage of having a prophetic memory is that his preparations are targeted. He does not need to study Spain and Italy, but he will definitely study the Brazilian team, and even some opponents who will advance in his memory and may encounter England.

The three opponents in the group, the basic status information, have been researched and prepared in the past three months, and the rest is to follow up and see before the start of the World Cup. Will there be any temporary changes. Especially big changes. For example, the main player is injured, forcing a change in tactics.

The rest of the work is to study the opponents that may be encountered in the future. Such preparations may be in vain in the end, because the England team may go home in the group stage, but plan ahead and decide whether to do it or not. It's better to be prepared than unprepared, and the old adage is so true: Opportunities come to those who are prepared.

Maybe 1,000 preparations, only 1 is useful, but Aldridge will still do these 1,000 preparations to deal with it. This is his work habit.

Five minutes later, the desk became clean and tidy, and everything was in good order. Aldridge, who was in his pajamas, got up and left. He just turned off the light in the study and went to the corridor. Ivan also walked out of the bedroom in his pajamas. Handed him the phone and said, You have a phone.

Aldrich took a look. It was Boas who called, and he answered, Good evening,

Vilas, are you telling me that our opponent in the semi-finals is Real Madrid?

No, I think you already know the news. I want to tell you that David Beckham is injured. I don't know if he will miss the World Cup. He was carried out on a stretcher.

Aldrich thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, Yes, I see.

Good night.

Good night.

After hanging up the phone, Aldrich held the phone and tapped it in the palm of his hand. Seeing this, Yiwen asked with concern: What happened?

Beckham is injured.

Yiwen frowned and said, National team?

Yes, I don't know if it will affect the World Cup in the summer, you go back to your room and sleep, I will call Ferguson later.

Well, it's not too late.

Aldrich smiled at her, then kissed her red lips, turned and walked to the balcony.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Aldridge looked at the clock on his mobile phone and estimated that it would take more than ten minutes to get through to Ferguson. After the game, the locker room and interviews would take some time. longer than usual.

He had forgotten that Beckham almost missed the World Cup this year and was injured in the Champions League match against Deportivo.

His injury has aroused the attention of the whole of England, and even the Queen will ask before the World Cup: Is David's injury healed?

The importance of Beckham cannot be denied. Even in Aldridge's tactical system, Beckham's ability to instigate long-pass offensives in the midfield is also very important. He can make long passes like him accurately, and he can support players who are threatening from the side. , There are really very few players in the England national team, and they cannot be compared with other top players in the world. Within the scope of England, Beckham is definitely a figure that no one can replace.

If he can't participate in the World Cup, Aldridge may have to change his tactics, because the effect will definitely not be the same if he matches up and substitutes.

But Aldridge is not particularly worried. In the original history, Beckham recovered as scheduled and participated in the World Cup. Now he is just doing what he should do as the coach of the national team.

Later, Aldridge called Ferguson.

Alex, I already know about David. It's not early. Long story short, I won't bother you to go home and rest. As long as Manchester United confirms that his injury will no longer have any impact on this season, the England national team medical department will intervene. How's it going, baby?

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

It is estimated that Ferguson is considering it.

How important is Beckham to Manchester United?

To put it bluntly, Manchester United is the team that best represents the British tradition of 442. They do not have the European standard No. 10 player. , Beckham, Ryan Giggs, the role of this pair of Golden Wings is not No. 10, but it is comparable to No. 10. Just look at the number of assists and the number of goals they participated in, and you will know their role and contribution.

The injury of such a key player is a loss to the club, but it must be kept secret internally!

In other words, if the outside world doesn't know whether Beckham's injury is serious or how long it will take to recover, then Manchester United's opponents don't know either!

If Beckham's injury, Manchester United's team doctor determines that Beckham can recover from injury before the end of the season, Manchester United can catch the opponent by surprise in the game when Beckham returns, because this will disrupt the opponent's pre-match plan, maybe there are not many in the league. The key battle is over, but Manchester United has now entered the semi-finals of the Champions League!

That's why Aldrich said those words.

If Beckham is confirmed to be reimbursed for this season, there is no need to keep it secret to the outside world, and the medical department of the national team can intervene. And if Manchester United is sure that Beckham can still appear in the rest of the season. The national team's medical department can stand by and watch. Because Beckham can come back at the club, he will definitely not miss the World Cup.

David has been sent to the hospital. We are waiting for news. The situation may not be optimistic. However, Aldrich, I understand your position and I promise you. Regarding David's injury this time, we will be open and honest. But only between us.

Ferguson and Aldridge have been fighting for 7 years. In these 7 years, any fighting methods on and off the court, except for the Stam incident, have been kept within certain rules. The two mortal enemies respect each other. At this time, Ferguson can refuse Aldridge. But he made a promise right away.

Well, okay. I'll wait for your news.

After hanging up the phone, Aldridge turned off the phone and went back to the bedroom to rest.

The next day, football news began to spread to the world like an atomic bomb explosion!

The battle of the century will be staged again!

The most luxurious confrontation, the five Mr. Golden Globes will compete together! Why not the final?

Millwall vs. Real Madrid, the defending champion will play against the La Liga giants again!

After Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid defend the dignity of Spanish football!

Beckham is seriously injured! The strength of the Three Lions is greatly reduced!

The conspiracy of the Argentines! Why not let Beckham go?

The semi-finals of the Champions League, the Premier League once again won three seats!

The Champions League semi-finals are out.

Millwall and Real Madrid advanced to the semi-finals in the same half of the zone and will start two life-and-death battles to secure tickets to the final in Glasgow.

At the same time, after the two semi-finals were determined, they attracted widespread attention from Europe and even the world.

Larsson, Nedved, Henry, Figo, Zidane.

Five Ballon d'Or players from the past five years will compete together.

There are also Raul, Pirlo, Ronaldinho, Carlos and other well-known stars who are among the best nominated for the Golden Globe Award.

It is conceivable how many people's attention these two semi-finals will attract.

There is no doubt that this will be the most expensive competition in contemporary football, the fight between the most heavyweight stars!

With such factors, it is not difficult to understand why the Millwall players were so excited and excited when they knew that Real Madrid had advanced to the semi-finals!

Such a game is more important and worth looking forward to than the normal Champions League.

The other half of the area will stage the English Civil War, the Red Derby!

Manchester United eliminated Deportivo to advance to the semi-finals, and Liverpool eliminated Leverkusen (without Schneider, Bout, Ballack and other players, their strength has declined, so they were eliminated.).

After winning three seats in the semi-finals last season, the Premier League continued to perform strongly in the Champions League with an overwhelming advantage this season.

Millwall vs Real Madrid.

Manchester United vs Liverpool.

The England fans were very excited. If it were not for Beckham's injury, in their opinion, this season's Champions League could be called perfect. Of course, Arsenal, who lost the chain, did not even make it to the quarterfinals. Surprisingly, the seemingly gorgeous team in the Premier League always gives people an unconvincing sense of sight in the European war.

Beckham's injury has attracted widespread attention. It was an Argentine player who fouled him. Under the hype of the media, the hatred between England and Argentina has intensified. The World Cup 4 years ago, the group stage that will be held in the summer, now let Xiaobei bei is hurt

Only one day later, Ferguson called Aldridge.

The England national team can take over to treat David, but Manchester United must be notified of his recovery from injury in time.

Beckham's injury made the Manchester United club very pessimistic and has been diagnosed.

Fracture of the second phalanx of the left foot.

There is an old Chinese saying: It takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones.

Fracture, and it was a football player's foot, even if it was discounted, Beckham could return to the training ground alive and well in 50 days, but at that time, Manchester United's season was over.

Manchester United's team doctor did not think that Beckham could return before the end of the season, so he handed over to the England national team to treat his injury.

Then again, how much is Beckham's foot, even his left foot, worth?

Probably more than 30 million pounds, maybe even more.

This is not linked to his competitive value, but a combination of commercial value. For example, his competitive value is definitely not as good as Zidane, but if Beckham retires tomorrow, Manchester United’s loss will definitely exceed Zidane’s transfer to Real Madrid. Worth that world record money figure.

Manchester United let people go, and Aldridge sent the England national team medical team to Millwall to wait for Beckham's arrival together with Millwall's medical team, and began to prepare a treatment and rehabilitation plan for Beckham.

The medical department of Millwall itself is separate from the medical department of the England national team, but after Aldrich took office as the national team coach, the two formed a cooperative relationship. No one manages the other, they just cooperate, even if there are disputes, It should also be put on hold for the time being, anyway, Aldridge will not stay in this position forever.
