After two days of rest, Millwall's players did not play crazy during the two-day holiday. When they returned to the team for training in preparation for the Champions League final, it was obvious that their physical condition was very good.
This is probably related to their mental state, the good habits they have developed over the years, and the team's stronger psychological quality this season.
Aldrich's work remains meticulous and step-by-step.
The day before leaving for Turkey, this day was Aldrich's birthday.
The young marshal is 29 years old.
Early in the morning, while he was still in the office, Carter pushed open the door and asked with a headache: "Aldrich, how have we lived today in the past few years?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Is there anything special today?"
Aldrich sat behind his desk with his chin in his hands, looking puzzled.
Carter sat down across from the desk and exclaimed: "The first thing I did when I came to the club was to be told by my assistant: Millwall's official website was bombed! Our official website server was paralyzed, and the mailbox was also filled with emails and then paralyzed!"
Aldrich frowned and said, "Didn't the server be upgraded last year?"
Carter nodded and said: "Yes, I just found out today that every year when you celebrate your birthday, the club will upgrade its website server!"
Aldrich put his forehead on his head and lowered his head, unable to help but laugh.
He and Carter are both very mature men. For things like birthdays, just keep them simple, there is no need to make them particularly grand.
However, since many years ago, when the day of the Millwall Champions League final coincided with Aldridge's birthday, and at that time some fans put up signs in the stands to wish Aldridge a happy birthday, since then, Aldridge's birthday has not been
secret.
On his birthday, fans from all over the world will send their blessings via email. Some will also leave messages on the official website and even mail gifts to the club.
For club players, Aldrich advocates proactive care. On player birthdays, he will organize some "surprise attack" internal celebrations to make players feel warm and cared for in the club.
But his birthday has been announced many years ago and is automatically ignored within the club. After all, he is the leader of the team. If the season ends and the players go their separate ways, and the season is not over, it means there are still games. As a coach, how can he celebrate with great fanfare?
Where is your birthday?
You can't stop the enthusiasm of the fans.
Therefore, Millwall's official website and public email will undergo a test of life and death on this day. Years of experience have told the club: the network hardware must be upgraded once a year. The upgrade date will be after May 20.
Carter left, and today was supposed to be an easy day. But it turned out that he had to deal with the numerous gifts that the club had received from fans from all over the world. Even if it was a greeting card, the club had to write a reply to show that it valued it!
Only in this way can the club's fan base overseas be better developed.
Although the work was not done by Aldrich, someone else did it for him.
But it's just like a celebrity. The team around the celebrity does a lot of the work of interacting with fans.
Aldridge doesn't care about so many things. He keeps a normal mind. The training tasks will not be too heavy the day before the expedition, and the team atmosphere is also very relaxed.
He was supervising the players' training on the sidelines of the training ground and chatting with his colleagues on the coaching staff, which was relaxed and enjoyable.
It's just that when players like Schneider, Ronaldinho, De Rossi and other players occasionally look at him, they always feel a little weird. Aldridge just understands that they want to say happy birthday to him.
But when the training ended in the afternoon and he came out of the office and walked to the parking lot, he was shocked.
The car in the parking lot was pried open!
The rear door is open because the door cannot be closed!
He walked over cautiously and saw a foot protruding from the back seat of the car. It was that foot that prevented the door from closing at all.
As he got closer, he discovered that the "foot" was that of a stuffed doll.
Except for the driver's seat, the other spaces in his car were filled with stuff!
Some are carefully packaged gift boxes, and some are packed in handbags. There are the latest computers, game consoles, leather shoes, clothing, non-mainstream accessories, cowboy hats...that puppet
The "feet" of the doll were at the bottom. After he pulled apart the things on top, he saw clearly that the template of the doll was none other than himself!
It's just the Q version and has been shrunk a little, almost 1.5 meters tall.
Aldrich couldn't help laughing. If he still couldn't figure it out at this time, his life would be in vain!
It must be a birthday present from the players!
Just when he was about to call them to "reprimand" them, a chorus of shouts suddenly rang out from the originally quiet parking lot, which almost frightened Aldrich so much that he sat on the ground!
"Boss! Happy birthday! Hahahaha!"
From all directions, cars of various colors still parked in the parking lot poked their heads out of the driver's seats. All the first-team players laughed. After shouting in unison, they immediately started the cars and left quickly!
Aldrich was a little confused.
When he arrived, he saw that the parking spaces in the parking lot were full. He thought that the players had not left yet and saw nothing strange.
Unexpectedly, they had actually been in the car for a long time. They must have lowered their heads to prevent outsiders from discovering them, and then they were "ambushing" here!
Aldrich was really dizzy.
I can't laugh or cry.
He didn't know who sent each of these gifts. He especially wanted to know, whose handiwork was this humanoid doll?
Afterwards, Kaka took the initiative to admit that it was him who sent it.
After finally squeezing the gifts stuffed into the car, Aldrich closed the car door and drove home.
He did not drive the car into the garage, because for the family, his birthday is a special day after all. Aldrich will not hold a birthday party. They will go to Arthur's place in the evening, which can be regarded as a small family gathering.
With difficulty, he held the doll in his right hand and carried several handbags in his left hand. He took out the keys and opened the door with difficulty. As soon as he entered the door, the sound of colorful firecrackers startled him again, and everything in his hands fell to the ground.
"Happy birthday, Dad!"
The house was very dark, with only a few candles lit on the coffee table in the living room. It looked like the atmosphere of a candlelight dinner. Earl and Bert fired firecrackers by the door, which made Aldrich's heart beat.
It accelerated suddenly again.
"You scared me to death! I thought there was an earthquake!"
As soon as the colorful strips fell, Earl and Bert ran into the living room. Aldrich couldn't figure out what the two brothers were planning to do. As soon as he bent down to pick up two handbags, someone held his face and raised his head.
, Yiwen kissed his lips affectionately, their lips parted for a long time, and she said with a smile in her eyes: "Happy birthday."
Aldrich replied: "Thank you, but you have to come and help me. I still have a lot of things in the car that I need to get back."
Only then did Yi Wen notice that there were many things on the ground, all because the light was too dark.
She went outside to help Aldrich carry all the gifts in the car back. Bonnie ran over and rushed into Aldrich's arms, kissed Aldrich on the face, and said happily: "Dad, birthday
hapiness."
When Yiwen brought the things in, Aldrich asked curiously: "Why don't you turn on the lights? Candlelight dinner? Didn't you agree to go to Arthur's place?"
In fact, calling it a candlelight dinner would seem strange in itself.
Because it should be a world between two people, not a family dinner atmosphere.
Yi Wen smiled and said nothing. At this time, Bert and Earl were holding a large plate from the kitchen. Inside the plate was a very ordinary cake, chocolate-flavored, with a lit candle on it. Earl and Earl
Te walked into the living room holding a dinner plate and sang happy birthday.
Yiwen whispered in Aldrich's ear: "They made this with their own hands and gave it to you as a birthday present."
Aldrich was so moved that he was speechless.
Although Earl is a child who gives him a lot of headaches, and he seems to be not doing his job most of the time, it would be unfair to say that he is uneducated and incompetent.
As long as he is interested in something, he will work hard to study it.
Just like making cakes, he filmed an advertisement for a cake shop and became interested in it. Although his craftsmanship is not particularly good, there is no problem in making a qualified cake. He must have brought his brother Bert with him.
We worked together to make this birthday cake for Aldrich.
The reason why I light candles in the living room is probably for the effect of the current environment.
Aldrich knelt in front of the coffee table and blew out the candles, and then began to enjoy the birthday cake the children made for him. Although the chocolate flavor was too strong and even tasted greasy, he still ate it with relish and enjoyed it very much.
In the corner of the living room, there is now an additional decoration. At least Aldrich thinks it is half decoration and half toy, a piano.
Bonnie also prepared a birthday gift for her father. She wanted to play a birthday song for him.
However, she had only played the piano for a short time, and it was easy for her to make mistakes. Especially when she made a mistake, she would panic, causing the piano music that played to be very awkward and weird. In the end, she cried instead, and Aldrich walked away with a smile.
Sitting in front of the piano, he hugged her to make her happy, and then encouraged her to slowly start playing the piano again. Soon, a simple and smooth piano music was played, and Bonnie burst into tears and laughed.
Delic closed his eyes and recalled the simple melody.
The day before he left for Turkey, Aldrich celebrated his 29th birthday. On that night, he also received a gift from Yiwen.
Ivan tattooed Aldrich's name on his body, and proudly let Aldrich admire it after taking off his clothes. This gave Aldrich the idea of tattooing. He wanted to tattoo Ivan, Bert
, Earl, Bonnie’s name is also tattooed on her body.
On May 21st, the entire Millwall team went to Istanbul, Turkey, as the Champions League final was approaching.
On this day, AC Milan, Millwall's opponent in the Champions League final, was still in Italy. They were the first team to start this round of Serie A, but at the same time, Millwall had arrived in Turkey to start the final game before the Champions League final.
Prepare!
