--------------------------
In the past eleven years, many players have left Millwall and have never played an important role in the first team. Even if the substitutes at the top are not included in the list, Millwall is still considered an "export" player among European clubs.
Big business, among them, there are too many names mentioned repeatedly by Fleet Street.".[]
There is a phenomenon that is common in football, and that is hindsight and player comparison.
If Millwall's front line is weak for two consecutive games and the forward status seems to have declined, then the media will definitely mention some of Millwall's old ministers in the news, such as Trezeguet, Shevchenko, or Ruud Ruud.
, the same situation will also occur in other positions, Aaron
When Suo does not perform well, people will always mention Pirlo. When Kaká is in a downturn, people will also say that Millwall made the mistake of letting Lampard go. Defenders, full-backs, the only calm position is the goalkeeper, but
This position has always been an area where outsiders believe Millwall is lacking.
The influence of the media's public opinion will naturally and subtly affect the fans. Even the fanatical fans of Millwall will occasionally miss the players who have left. Of course, players such as Lampard and Ruud Ruud who played for other Premier League teams will not be forgotten.
Belongs to their memory.
Therefore, when Aldridge decided to adopt Carter's suggestion and engraved the names of the meritorious players and the legendary players who created the dynasty for Millwall on the authentic Champions League trophy, many, many Millwall fans would definitely think of Pirlo.
Gianluca Zambrotta, Gattuso and Materazzi. Maybe Makelele will not be mentioned, after all, he left earlier, but at least he was also the hero of one of the three consecutive seasons.
But if the club does not engrave the names of these players on the trophy, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some nostalgic fans.
There are always many, many people who are nostalgic for the good times of the past. Time never comes back. It is really valuable to be able to leave beautiful memories.
In order to avoid or appease the fans, reduce the negative impact of this matter, and do a better job on something that was supposed to have a huge positive effect, Aldrich and Carter need to come up with a better solution.
Millwall cannot deny the presence of contributors from the past.
Aldrich poured another glass of wine and drank slowly, thinking as he drank.
Carter came up with this proposal. His mind naturally moved quickly and he said: "Well, is this okay? We also have replicas of the Champions League trophies, such as the ones we got in 2000 and 2001. They are replicas.
Players’ names engraved on replicas. What do you think?”
Aldridge was thoughtful after hearing this, and said after a while: "If this is the case, it would be a bit explicit. I mean, anyone with a discerning eye can see that we are deliberately avoiding the fact that meritorious players have left. However, the method you mentioned
, can still be improved.”
Carter spread his hands and said, "Do you have any ideas?"
"In 1998, 2000, 2001, and 2004, in these four years, the club won the Champions League, and all they kept were replicas. Then, we can engrave the first-team lineup of the team that season on these trophies. In this way
In the future, the players of that season will be remembered by future generations. When visitors visit, they can not only know through our exhibition content introduction, but also the season review which players played for Millwall in those successful seasons.
, they can directly see Millwall's first-team lineup for that season on the trophy when they visit the trophy. After all, fans now have deep memories when they visit, and they may not need to see it. Fans who know Millwall can tell you everything.
The team lineup of the current season is released, but what about ten years later? What about twenty years later? As time goes by, the memory of old fans becomes blurred, or new fans want to understand the history of Millwall, and the role of this becomes highlighted.
Come out."
Carter thought for a while and nodded in agreement, and then the two discussed some details, including the announcement time, some requirements for engraving the players' names on the authentic Champions League trophy, and what the players would like if the club wins a second authentic Champions League trophy in the future.
What criteria do you need to meet to leave your name on it?
Of course, there will be flexibility in these standards. For example, if a player is required to play more than 50 European games for Millwall, then if the player only plays 40 times, this should be accommodated.
Another example is that players are required to play for Millwall for more than 6 years, but if they have only played for 5 years, then the standards should be relaxed and measured based on the player's contribution and the status of the club.
As the devil's schedule approaches, Carter's proposal refreshes Aldridge's mood, as if he has been slightly recharged.
Aldridge is very happy to have such a partner beside him to provide advice as he strives to build Millwall into a transcendent football club in the world.
In mid-April, the first game of the devil's schedule of the decisive battle month arrives.
Lion King Stadium.
The game has entered the second half of the 70th minute, and the score on the scoreboard is 1:1.
There were already many Millwall fans in the stands who looked nervous.
In the same round of games, Chelsea resolved the battle early and successfully scored 3 points at Old Trafford.
In the real-time standings, Chelsea is only 1 point behind Millwall.
At this time, Millwall and Liverpool were still tied at home.
"Millwall had terrible luck today. Liverpool, led by Benitez, has performed quite well this season, but they still cannot shake the dominance of the top four teams in the Champions League. At the stage when they need to sprint most, Liverpool is quite outstanding.
The lack of successors is also related to the thickness of their lineup.
Guan, today Benitez set up a steel barrel formation in the away game, apparently just to get 1 point at the Lion King Stadium. Millwall was attacked by Liverpool at the beginning. Owen succeeded in the supplementary shot. Millwall goalkeeper Butt
The problem of missed saves has once again become the focus of the game, and this may become a problem in the game.
A fatal mistake in the middle of the season. Millwall did not panic at all after losing the ball. They played steadily and finally equalized the score early in the second half. However, they still had bad luck today. Carragher brought down Henry and was awarded a penalty kick. Ronaldo
Nardinho kicked the penalty kick away.
Henry also missed a very close chance to score a header. However, his header ability seemed to be beyond criticism. Ronaldo and Nedvěd's long shots hit the crossbar and goalpost respectively.
This makes people wonder whether this is Millwall’s home ground!”
Benitez sat expressionlessly on the visiting team's coaching bench, taking out a small notebook to take notes from time to time.
Aldrich didn't know all the contents of Benitez's notebook, and he had never peeked into it even when they worked together before. However, he knew a little bit. Benitez would record the players' mistakes in the notebook, and then even if the game was won, he would record the players' mistakes in the notebook.
, he would also sullenly discuss with the players the causes of these mistakes and ways to improve them, which would often drive the players crazy...
Liverpool were also very pragmatic today. To put it bluntly, they were similar to Chelsea.
It's a devilish schedule for Millwall, and it's the same for Liverpool.
Liverpool's hope of competing for the top four depends on their sprint performance in the last few games.
Benitez was unlucky, drawing with Chelsea in the 90th minute of the League Cup final and then losing to Mourinho.
The FA Cup was also eliminated early, but the UEFA Cup reached the semi-finals. Now Liverpool's goal is relatively clear. Whether they can compete for the top four in the league depends on the few league games before the end of the month. If they can't catch up with the previous ones,
Manchester United, then shift their focus to the UEFA Cup.
Millwall advanced on three fronts. At this critical juncture, Aldridge also saw through this game that it is difficult to say that it is all luck. Although if the penalty kick is scored, the score will be overtaken, but several good shots in front of the goal
Opportunities are wasted. This is a problem of player performance. It is unrealistic for Millwall to take all the trophies when three lines are advanced.
The pressure in the league itself is still huge, especially in the standings. They have suppressed Chelsea from the first round of the season. If they are caught up by the opponent at this time, or have a lead of 1 point or 2 points, Millwall's mentality will be very different.
There will be earth-shaking changes.
Aldrich walked to the sideline with a grim face, his eyes shining with sharp light.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea!
The last game of the decisive battle month is Chelsea.
Before that, the traditional top three in the Premier League want to attack Millwall?
You guys, don’t even think about succeeding!
"Millwall is making substitutions. We see that Villa is preparing to play. Maybe he will replace Henry, who missed two golden opportunities in this game. However, at this time, the pressure on Villa may be unprecedentedly huge.
!”
Contrary to the commentator's expectation, Villa came on and the player he replaced was not Henry.
Aldridge did not make a matchup substitution. He removed Thiago Silva, a central defender, and replaced him with a forward!
Benitez's expression changed slightly.
He is already a master tactician, but the tactical environment he likes and is accustomed to is when he knows himself and the enemy, that is, he has thoroughly studied his opponent and is aware of all the changes in his opponent.
Aldridge's substitution is not in line with Aldridge's style.
It's not that he won't withdraw his defender.
It's that he rarely withdraws defenders and then obviously increases the strength of the forward line.
Benitez is a little confused and confused about Aldridge's intention of making this substitution?
Is it simply to increase scoring opportunities in the penalty area?
Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips to supervise the battle. Without saying a word, he had an obvious wild demeanor. He was not dismissive of Liverpool, but wanted to crush Liverpool!
Of course, he would not reveal his real killer move so obviously. Before Villa came on the field, assistant coach Villas-Boas, through Aldrich's instructions, told Villa what to do after he came on the field and where the focus of Millwall's offense was.
.
Now, Millwall has four forwards and three midfielders on the field.
If they are going to be tied by Liverpool, then it is better to give it a vigorous try in the last 20 minutes. Liverpool has the courage and ambition to score 3 points here, so let’s give it a try! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better updated.
