The Young Lion

In English football, there are two contemporary overlords, the first one is even the European overlord, named Millwall, nicknamed Wild Lion!

Another overlord, don’t say that more than 2 billion fans around the world have never heard of it, and maybe many English fans have never heard of it. This overlord is called: Doncaster Wandering Belles.

This team nicknamed Belles, which can be interpreted as beauty, is a women's football club.

It has a history of 33 years. Although many professional football clubs have relied on their own financial resources to build women's football clubs to continuously win championship trophies in recent years, the overall performance is stable. Although it is far-fetched for Bellis to claim the hegemony, it also convinces the English women's football community. Men's football has a history of 150 years of development. They have been developing slowly between amateur, semi-professional and professional over the years. As for the salary of women's football, the annual salary of the biggest player is not as good as Beckham's daily salary.

August 5, 2002.

One kilometer to the east of the Lion's Den Stadium, Millwall's old stadium, there used to be an ordinary stadium, which was bought by Millwall a year ago. After a year of reconstruction, it has now become a small stadium that can accommodate 8,000 people. , and has an office building, this small and exquisite but still barely concealed small world, the club listing ceremony will be held today.

Fathers and folks from East London came one after another, and the cost of admission to watch the ceremony was only 1 pound. Even Fleet Street also came to hear the news, making the place crowded.

When a mature woman in Millwall sportswear held a football and led the 22-man women's lineup out of the tunnel, the crowd of 8,000 people gave a standing ovation.

Walking in the forefront is the head coach of this women's football team, named Edwina. She smiled and had tears in her eyes. Hearing the thunderous applause at the scene, she couldn't help but think of the past many years when she and a group of girls Together, we can only play football in public places, simple games, no training system at all, exposed to the sun and wind, occasionally participate in amateur games, laugh together, lose together, if it's just for entertainment, then that's fine, but women how?

Women can't have dreams?

Are women really as ignorant of football as despised by British gentlemen?

Yes, maybe we really don’t understand, but even God can’t stop us from dreaming!

Edwina thought of an encounter with a man many years ago.

At that time, she had just retired from the stage of the semi-professional league. She was only in her early 30s, but due to lack of systematic training, the older she got, the less she could bear the physical load. She could only enjoy football in amateur games occasionally. Fun, from then on, she got together with some young girls who love football,

Together, they participated in the local community training program launched by Millwall. Many professional clubs in England have such a plan. It is one of the projects that take root in the community, give back to the community, or interact with community groups, just like Millwall The stars of the game will do charity work.

At that time, a group of girls, under the amateur guidance of coach Millwall, hoped to play their own world. It was also at that time that Edwina met the young coach Ouyang who had just won the first Champions League. Delic, she remembered every word Aldridge said to her at that time, but as time passed, she felt that the other party might have forgotten it.

Unexpectedly, this day finally came, and the young marshal fulfilled his promise back then, even though it might be insignificant to him.

Millwall Ladies Football Club, launched today!

These football-loving girls in East London have a home, a base, and support for their career development, which allows them to see the bright future and radiate vigorous motivation.

Wearing brand-new jerseys, brand-new sneakers, and walking in the brand-new small stadium, these unattractive girls all have the most innocent smiles on their faces, which come from love and pride!

Even if they knew that if the young marshal hadn't been there today, the number of fathers and folks who came to the scene would have been at least half, but it still couldn't reduce their happiness by a single bit.

When Aldridge brought his family to the sidelines, the atmosphere reached a climax, and a name echoed throughout the small stadium.

Aldrich!

Aldrich!

This is the first time that the young coach has actively appeared in the eyes of the fans after the World Cup. The women's football team lined up in a row and applauded. Many young female players stared at Aldrich without hiding their love.

The youngest player in the team is Daisy. She is only 17 years old. She has extraordinary athletic ability and is a technical player. Excited.

The older Mandy beside her tilted her head slightly and said in a low voice, Daisy, you would never dare to kiss him.

Daisy turned her head and glared at Mandy, not to be outdone, she said, Who says I dare not? Dare you bet?

What bet?

The loser brushes the opponent's sneakers for a month and washes the jersey for a month!

Poor women's football, this kind of work of cleaning sneakers and jerseys is placed on the men's football side, and there are special personnel responsible for it. When they come to them, they have to do it themselves.

Mandy hesitated a little, Daisy's tone was so loud, she was not sure that she would lose.

Hmph, are you scared?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Daisy became a little angry.

Mandy couldn't get off the tiger, so she had to agree to come down.

Look, you're doomed.

At this moment, Aldridge walked toward the court, holding the hands of Bert and Earl from left to right, and Ivan, who was dressed in a white dress, stood on the sidelines and watched with a smile.

Aldrich walked up to Edwina, let go of Bert and Earl, and then hugged Edwina politely. When he turned around, Earl handed over the microphone in his hand to After leaving him, at this time, there are still deafening cheers in the stadium, cheering his name.

thanks, thanks

Aldridge said thank you 5 times in a row before the scene changed from hustle and bustle to tranquility.

He turned his back to the women's football players, while the little girls stared at his figure without blinking.

When I decided to use 30 million pounds to build a women's football team, the first thing the staff around me said to me was: Aldridge, you are crazy! The second sentence was: 30 million pounds, we can Buy a world-class star and make Millwall stronger. When I think about it, I think of what British men often say in private: women, do you understand football? Of course, no celebrity would dare to say such a thing in public , then he will be sued, and he will be condemned by the society because of sexism, but this is what many British gentlemen really think.

The scene was silent, and there were many men in the stands. In fact, they came here and paid 1 pound for the ticket to see Aldridge. It was because of their love for the Wild Lions, not because they were really interested in the establishment of the Women's Football Club. It is the truth.

And what Aldrich said is also true.

The women's football players behind him pouted with aggrieved expressions.

Aldridge paced in front of them, and said lightly: Sometimes, you have to admit, they, women, really don't seem to know what football is! They were knocked down, and they stood up and continued to play. Pretend that they are injured. They don't dive, and don't let their opponents be sent off. They don't fight with opponents at corner kicks, and they don't go to the referee to argue. How can they play well like this? But , who can stop them from playing football? No! In order to play football, they gave up their full-time jobs and used their time to do odd jobs in order to play football decently and enjoy the short-term happiness brought by football. They cannot be shaken by wind and rain. They cannot see the splendor of a huge industry worth billions of dollars like the Premier League. Even if they become household stars, they cannot earn the property of a sports car or a mansion. However, they are still playing football, still laughing and sad because of football, falling down and getting up, falling down and getting up, England, every week, there are tens of thousands of girls playing football, they move me, let I respect them from the bottom of my heart, and isn’t the light that shines on them exactly what Millwall needs, insists on, and hopes to carry forward the wild lion spirit forever?”

After the scene was silent for three seconds, thunderous applause broke out again. This time, it was not for Aldridge, but for the women's team.

As for the female team members behind Aldrich, many of them had tears in their eyes, their grievances were swept away, and they looked at the young marshal with emotion. This legendary young marshal really has extraordinary magic power. In a few words It's so annoying that I have to secretly wipe away my tears.

Aldridge turned around and smiled at the female players: A few years ago, I made an agreement with Edwina that as long as I was in Millwall for one day, I would give you a stage to realize your dreams. Now , the ground under your feet is the ground you are wearing, and here, I, Aldrich Hall, proudly announce that the Millwall Women's Football Club has been established! And it has passed the approval of the FA to become Became a member of the Women's Professional Soccer League!

Amidst the cheers of the female players in the team, Aldrich dropped the microphone casually, and then began to shake hands with them one by one. As a result, he was surrounded by female players before shaking hands with the second one. Under the watchful eyes of 8,000 spectators, they were actually thrown into the sky by the female team members!

Yiwen stood on the sidelines and covered his mouth with one hand, his beautiful eyes were stunned.

Bert and Earl were also picked up by the slightly older female team members.

Aldridge was heartbroken.

This is not a group of female players, but a group of female hooligans!

His strong buttocks have long been kneaded by many hands

When he regained his footing, Daisy pulled Mandy. Under the watchful eyes of Mandy, Daisy bravely approached Aldrich, kissed him on the cheek, and then spoke to Aldrich Said: Boss, if you feel disadvantaged, just give you a kiss back.

After saying that, she will turn her head to make her little face face Aldrich.

Aldrich looked at this petite girl, shook his head and remained silent.

Then Aldridge took a group photo surrounded by a group of female players, and then the women's football players showed off their skills, especially the technical moves between Daisy and Earl made the audience burst into laughter.

Although Earl is young, he knows a lot. It doesn't matter if his movements are not smooth. How can he have such high requirements for children? Daisy is good at a lot of unique skills, but he is not as fancy as Erle. She sees Earl did cycling, she also pedaled bicycle, Earl Marseille twirled, she also did one, Earl made a slow decomposing movement and flicked the cow's tail, Daisy was about to cry r1152 ()
