The Young Lion

On the second day after returning to the club, Aldridge appeared on the training ground. Just like in the past, he greeted the whole team and started training. The specific work of the training was handed over to Jenson to arrange and be responsible. Take Stella Marcioni to watch and chat with him about Millwall.

Outside the training ground, many fans still gathered. They saw Aldridge today, and reporters from Fleet Street also mixed in, hoping to take some photos for business.

On this day, Aldridge had no private conversations, not even public speeches, except for the usual greetings when he met the players.

In the afternoon, Jenson presided over the pre-match preparation meeting. All the players did not see Aldrich in the conference room, and the content of the preparation meeting surprised many people.

Nothing has changed from the Klinsmann era.

In the news and public opinion released on Fleet Street today, in addition to the return of the young coach, there is also the heavy news that Joe Cole was given up by Millwall.

In addition, Fleet Street is guessing that after Aldridge's return, which of the Millwall players will change their fate when they play Newcastle United on Saturday!

Once the emperor and courtier, since Klinsmann has left, and his style is synonymous with failure in the eyes of the outside world, the return of the young coach, according to common sense, will naturally make things right, then, corresponding to the players on the field, there must be players who will Usher in a turning point of fate.

The first to be concluded by the outside world is the striker.

Klose must give up the center position to Henry.

Larson is sure to return to the starting lineup as well.

How to change the midfield is the most intense debate outside. Lampard, Nedved, Alonso. There is also whether full-time role players should be assigned to the midfielder position. There are too many people and few pits. Who will continue to play the main force and who will sit on the bench. This series of changes will affect the Millwall dressing room.

Aldridge came to the long-lost pre-match press conference with a calm expression. The scene was overcrowded, and many reporters were standing in the aisle. Lights flickered and camera shutters clicked as Aldridge emerged.

After Aldrich sat down, some reporters couldn't wait to raise their hands to ask questions.

Sir Hall. What was your response to the Manchester United and Arsenal managers questioning earlier today whether your return was in breach of your work contract with the FA?

The reporters on the scene were very excited. As soon as Aldridge returned, it seemed that the entire Premier League order had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Just after the league ended last week, Fleet Street also agreed that Millwall failed to defend the league title.

With 5 rounds left, the difference between the top duo is 4 points.

After Klinsmann dismissed get out of class and Aldridge returned to the Millwall position, Fleet Street immediately changed its tune.

It seems that even if Millwall succeeds in defending the title in the end. No surprise there either.

A game hasn't been played yet, and the open and secret fighting between the Premier League championship groups has become fierce again!

Ferguson and Wenger both attacked Aldridge and the FA.

Question whether he is qualified to coach the Wild Lions!

In itself, the club belongs to Aldridge. He certainly qualifies.

However, Aldridge is still the coach of the national team.

This is a different situation from three years ago.

Taking over the national team at the end of 2000 is obviously a part-time job. The FA is willing to play, one is willing to play, and the other is willing to suffer. Outsiders can't say anything.

But after the 2002 World Cup, Aldridge signed a new contract with the FA. It is to give him a full-time contract, at least from the perspective of annual salary level, that is the case.

Under such circumstances, Aldridge returned to Millwall to coach and returned to the working state of holding two jobs. In this way, is there any conflict? Has the FA restricted him in his contract?

The outside world does not know, after all, it is impossible for the FA to show the full work contract to the outside world after renewing the contract with the young coach.

But once it is clearly stipulated in the work contract that Aldridge can only work for the FA, if Aldridge insists on coaching Millwall again, this must be a breach of contract.

If there is a dispute over this matter, Aldrich will be in a dilemma.

Facing the reporter's question, Aldridge said simply and appalledly: This kind of matter should be consulted with the FA.

No matter how hard the reporter asked, Aldridge just shook his head and asked the reporters to go to the FA and listen to the FA's answer.

If the FA says that Aldridge breached the contract, then Aldridge will resign as the coach of the national team, and he doesn't care about liquidated damages.

The cunning Fleet Street, needless to say by Aldrich, is actually preparing for a two-headed raid today, questioning Aldridge in Millwall while pressing the FA at the same time.

They hope that there will be a situation where both sides insist on their own opinions, so that a good show will be staged!

The return of the young coach will not only have to compete with Manchester United and Arsenal for the league championship in the final stage, but he may also have a fight with the FA.

It's a pity that Aldridge didn't let them do what they wanted. He didn't explain it himself, but pushed it to the FA.

Having dealt with the media for nearly ten years, Aldrich is very experienced, so how could he give the other party a handle?

Although the FA was a little bit overwhelmed, they even went through the young marshal's contract from beginning to end. What made them feel more at ease was that at least the contract did not stipulate that the young marshal could only work for the FA.

First, before the World Cup, the FA planned to renew the contract with the young coach. The conditions were the same as before, but the annual salary was increased. At the same time, it was hoped that the contract could be extended more.

Furthermore, during the period from the end of 2000 to the middle of 2002, the FA no longer had any disagreements over Aldridge's double role, so the new contract will not particularly emphasize this point.

After the FA clarified the content of the contract, the external spokesperson responded to reporters: Sir Hall's contract with the FA does not restrict him from returning to Millwall to coach, and the FA is not worried about him even if he returns. Millwall has both club and national team in mind and it has been proven that Sir Hall's extraordinary working ability can be successful for both club and national team, and we respect Sir Hall's personal decision.

Aldridge brought back the World Cup for England. Now the European Cup qualifiers are also four consecutive victories. There is no suspense in qualifying. At this time, the FA will not have conflicts with Aldridge unless the brain is flooded. I also want to review the contract before. Put an end to hidden dangers, if there is such a stipulation in the contract, they don't mind revising the contract and re-signing with Aldridge, even if it attracts criticism from the outside world, the Premier League will protest, and the FA will ignore them.

Among the most intuitive economic benefits, the Premier League does not obey management, but only symbolically gives the FA a sum similar to organizer's hard work, and the economic income of the national team has increased significantly in the past two years, more or less Aldrich's personal credit.

Here at Millwall, the reporters are not interested in tomorrow's game questions.

Even if Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Chelsea are competing for the last Champions League ticket, Newcastle United's fighting spirit is beyond doubt, but now that Aldridge has returned to coach, Millwall will play Newcastle United at home, just like the past few days. Years: no suspense.

Reporters asked Aldridge about Joe Cole's start to training with the reserves today and Millwall's listing him.

Joe Cole is a very talented player, but the quality he has shown in the process of development has not completely satisfied Millwall. Given that there are better talents than him in the team, I think he will leave Millwall. Wall, it would be more suitable for his career development to seek opportunities at other clubs.

Most of the reporters at the scene didn't believe it, and most people still felt that Joe Cole was kicked out of the house for violating the rules of heaven.

However, everyone still understands the young marshal's approach.

Killing a Joe Cole will make the rest of the team sound the alarm, especially Millwall itself has a lot of young players. If you don't give them some thunderous means, tell them: genius? Geniuses die too! So, how can they be warned?

If you really say give up, it is still too early in the eyes of the public. Joe Cole is only 22 years old. With his current technical ability, as long as he goes to the next level and polishes it through the game, although it is unlikely to reach Ronaldini O'Neill's height, but surpassing England's McManaman is not just a fantasy.

Unfortunately, he is leaving Millwall.

There are still reporters complaining about Joe Cole, and pointing the finger at Ronaldinho, the tumor in the Millwall dressing room who has been criticized by the outside world during this time.

They believe that Ronaldinho's unprofessional private life style has affected many players in the Millwall team.

In this regard, Aldrich not only turned cold, but also became furious.

You guys know the shit! Don't slander my players irresponsibly! Everyone has their own life, and it's not up to others to judge! Ronaldinho's performance has indeed declined this season, but, Did any of you consider that he played in the World Cup for a month last summer? Did anyone consider that he would fly from Europe to South America and back on match day? No! You'll just spit shit out of your mouths! He has so many teammates, past and present , Gattuso, Pirlo, Schneider, Nedved, Bout, etc. There are so many teammates who have been with him for more than five years, why are others not influenced by him? Why? Your pig heads must not Thought, you are just artificially creating news, artificially creating chaos, want to see Millwall as messy as possible, this is you reporter, son of a bitch! Let me see this irresponsible news again, I will remember your unit, and then refuse all your interviews from now on! You can boycott Millwall, boycott me, that's even better, I don't want to see you yet!

There was a dead silence at the scene, and the young marshal walked away after finishing speaking.

No reporter dared to protest, for fear of being blocked by Aldrich, who might lose his job, because Aldrich did not block a certain reporter, but the media organization represented by the blocked reporter.

It's not like Aldrich has never done this kind of immoral thing before! (to be continued)
