The Young Lion

At the premiere of Lion: Before Dawn, Aldridge and his family watched the film together.

Not to mention, the movie plot and special effects rendered by Cannon are extremely shocking.

The beginning of the film is the old city of London in the 1970s and 1980s. Earle plays the childhood image of the protagonist Aldrich, who witnesses a gang fight between football hooligans after a game in a cold and damp alley.

The calm child's eyes were clear, and the hustle and bustle faded away, only to hear a soft tune humming from his mouth.

The scene of the film changes, but the tone of the music becomes clearer and clearer, and finally becomes louder and louder in Traveling Through Time and Space, and finally merges with the songs sung by tens of thousands of Millwall fans in the Lion's Den Stadium.

No one likes us, it doesn't matter...

That is the team song of the Wild Lions, and the scene is also the background of Millwall's ups and downs in League One.

Next came David Tennant, who played Aldrich, on the stage. The plot of the movie revolved around the representatives of different professions of Millwall fans, the future of the club, the construction of the team, and the Hall family's entry into Millwall. spread out.

Aldridge is full of praise for the film, because Cannon has indeed made a football blockbuster in the pure sense, and all elements are developed on the basis of football. The influence reflected from fans, teams, and players affects people's hearts. , and the plot trend of the film, first suppresses and then rises, although there is nothing surprising, just like the American hero blockbuster, where Ruth appears on the stage, and at the end, it is famous all over the world to save the suffering.

After all, it is a commercial film. In the film, aerial shots are used many times to present the shocking scenes of the fierce football match, as well as the craziness of the fans celebrating. The joy of a player when he wins. The publicity of the protagonist. vividly.

At the end of the film, Millwall won the minor treble, the league, the FA Cup, and the European Cup Winners' Cup. When the team won the trophy, the curtain officially ended. There was a line of words on the blank screen: Millwall Wall as the league champion. Obtained the qualification to participate in the European Champions Cup next season, to be continued...

In the film, Southgate, Nedved, and Larson made cameo appearances in real people. Although the total appearance was less than 3 minutes, it was enough to become the boo head of the film.

The lights in the projection room were brightly lit, Aldridge stood up and applauded, and many audience members who came to the premiere also applauded together.

Aldrich smiled at Cannon beside him: Danny, to be honest. The film was better than I expected. Especially the plot at the moment when Millwall won the championship, in the bar. In front of the TV, the driver in the taxi, There were also tens of thousands of fans at the scene, such a moment of tranquility, and then the shock and madness that broke out,

It's fucking football!

Cannon laughs: The only thing I'm worried about right now is the box office.

If you lose money, I'll make it up for you, haha.

Several Millwall players who came to attend the premiere greeted Aldridge one after another, and then left one after another. Ronaldinho finally ran over to Aldridge and asked: Boss, can I go to film?

Even though Aldridge has stepped down as coach, Ronaldinho still calls him the boss.

Where did you go to film?

It's the one next to me.

Aldrich turned his head to look at Ganon, and asked puzzledly: You want him to act in the next live action? How can he have time? A cameo scene or two is fine.

Ganon quickly explained: No, I'm just going to tell you this. The background of the second film is between 1998 and 2002, but I want to use the player as the protagonist and name it Wild Lion: One Goal Fame. It started with Millwall losing half of the main team in the summer of 1998, and then a fictional player who pursued his football dream was appreciated by Millwall.

Ronaldinho already understood the reason, just now he was just playing around with Aldrich, now he laughed and said: It's a pity that I have grown up and I can't return to the appearance of 17 years old, otherwise, wouldn't it be better for me to act in person?

Aldrich smiled when he heard the words, and teased: You really grew up? Can you stop changing girlfriends so diligently?

What is this? Does it matter? Maradona, Pele...

Damn, don't follow them in your private life. It's not a good example. In short, if you really grow up, you should always abide by the bottom line as a professional player, and don't let your private life delay your job.

Well, don't worry. By the way, boss, the team recently...

Ronaldinho seemed to want to chat with Aldridge about the Millwall dressing room, but Aldridge put his hand on his shoulder with a solemn expression, and said earnestly: You know we are a wealthy family, and the outside world treats them with almost cruelty. Sometimes you have to learn to ignore and calmly judge the facts. The interests of the team are always the first. It is normal to have difficulties, isn’t it? We have encountered difficulties of one kind or another before, and we will work hard to overcome them together. Days and future success are even more precious.

Ronaldinho nodded solemnly and didn't say anything else. Before leaving, he looked down at Earl who had been looking up at him, raised his fist and made a punching motion with Earl.

Although Millwall failed to win Milan at home in the middle of the week, in the league weekend, Millwall sent away Birmingham 2-0 at home.

The bad news is that Henry is injured.

However, for Millwall's midweek draw against Milan and the weekend's victory over Birmingham, Fleet Street still had some critical voices.

Some media simply want to stir up trouble, while others are critical, and only columns like David Miller's arguments are more objective.

The Lions are losing their strongest foundation: the team!

David Miller analyzed the changes in Millwall's new season through a specific analysis of the Champions League and the league games. Simply put: Millwall is moving towards mediocrity.

This kind of mediocrity does not mean that the team has become low-powered, but that the team's technical and tactical system no longer has obvious advantages. They have the confidence of a wealthy family, but they have almost embarked on a path of relying on the individual abilities of stars like other strong teams.

In the past two or three seasons, Millwall's super offensive firepower has been talked about by the public. The goals of plum blossoms made the Premier League Golden Boot. Even the European Golden Boot became the goal of Millwall strikers early on. It's in the bag. The competitors are their own teammates. The key point hidden behind it is that Millwall is a whole, a team, and the technical and tactical system does not depend on a certain point, so it can be done. The state of the field is not good, Larsson stepped forward, Larsson is not in the state, and Nedved. They always have no shortage of offensive points to solve the battle, because their entire team system is functioning perfectly, and now Mill Wall can only rely on the personal ability of the stars to support this system. If Ronaldinho is not on the field, Millwall's offensive system will collapse completely, because they lose their balance in the midfield! …

In fact, don't look at the outside world's evaluation of Millwall, just look at Millwall's record in the league. If you want to criticize Klinsmann, it will be too harsh and rude!

After 9 games in the league, Millwall has 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. It certainly wasn't the best start to Millwall's last seven Premier League seasons, but it wasn't the worst either. In particular, they ranked second in the standings!

Perhaps, it was Arsenal's 7 wins and 2 draws that made Millwall panic. It was the unbeaten victory last season that made Millwall so contrasted. It was the seven crowns that made this team should It's perfect, you can't concede, you can't tie, you can't lose!

In terms of performance in the league, Klinsmann scored 80 points in Aldrich's mind. If he didn't lose, he would add another 10 points. If he won two more games instead of a draw, he would be close to a full score. .

In the 38 rounds of the league, Millwall's start to the new season was not the best, but it should be above average.

But the attention and pressure on this dominant team from the outside world is too great, so great that Aldrich feels incredible, and sometimes he is bombarded by the media's public opinion and affects his thinking.

Klinsmann worked conscientiously under tremendous pressure. He also found signs of a slight imbalance in the team's midfield, and the opportunity for change appeared just after the ninth round of the league: Henry was injured.

It's not that Henry himself has a problem with his ability, but that Klinsmann likes Klose and it is impossible to put Henry on the bench, so there is a situation where he is too involved in offense and the midfield is unbalanced.

Now that Henry is injured, Klinsmann changed the lineup logically. He decided to use Alonso, Pedretti's midfielder, Alonso's midfielder, Lampard's midfielder, Ronaldinho with the trident, Klose, Larsson, in this way, brings the midfield back into balance.

The preparations for the national team in October were carried out in London. In the new national team roster, some players who were recruited in the team last month were removed, and the main players of the World Cup returned.

The sky was gray that day, and it seemed that it was going to rain but not a drop of rain fell.

When the players recruited by the England national team came to the training ground, they saw Aldrich looking up at the sky, thinking about some important national affairs, and his expression seemed worried.

When everyone stood up and waited for the coach to speak, or started training directly, Beckham, Irving and others held their heads high and looked at Aldridge with hot eyes. It had been a long time since I hadn't seen him, and I really missed this young coach.

Aldridge walked in front of the players with his hands behind his back, a smile appeared on his calm expression. With his smile, many international players also laughed.

It was a smug smile.

If you win the World Cup, you can die without regret, right?

Aldrich stretched his hands from behind to his front, raised his voice and said proudly: Hi, world champion.

Hahaha.

The group of international players laughed, and then Braun Jr. said, Hi, world champion coach.

Hahaha, well said, you are the world champions, and I am the coach of the world champions. There will be the European Cup in Portugal two years later, let's go and win the European Cup as well, hahaha.

Aldridge also laughed, and the international players were elated, and many people immediately echoed.

However, when they were fantasizing, they saw Aldridge put away his smile, his tone suddenly changed, and he said coldly: What a joke! Do you think that if you win the World Cup, you will be invincible? Do you think that as long as we train like we used to , and then go to Portugal to bring back the championship trophy? Surely it will be no problem to qualify for the European Cup qualifiers, but if you think England has the strength to win the European Cup, then I can only tell you one thing: What is your dream? Woolen cloth?

Heh, cough cough, cough cough cough...

Some players who were laughing stopped immediately, but it turned into a cough.

They saw that Aldrich's eyes were sharp and expressionless at this time, and it seemed that he was not joking with them.

The majesty rushed over, and many players subconsciously felt lingering fear.

It suddenly occurred to me that last month, the national team had just expelled McManaman, the hero of the World Cup.

Under the command of the young marshal, it's not like a child's play. (to be continued..) ()
