In the twelfth round of the Premier League, Millwall took the lead and played another London derby. This time they were a guest to challenge the farmer Fulham.````
Since the Champions League has already qualified in advance, there is no need to worry about leaving the remaining two rounds of the Champions League group stage to the substitute lineup, so Aldridge has no plans to rotate the main force in the league.
However, including last week's league game and the Champions League game against Inter Milan in midweek, Millwall's main lineup has played three games in seven days. Their terror on the court has slightly declined. They defeated Fulham in an economical 1:0 away game and won the championship.
Returning to East London with joy after 3 points.
After playing the game first, Aldridge had free time to sit with his friends and watch the live football game.
Chelsea will be the last to appear in the Premier League's highlight battle at the weekend. They will visit Old Trafford to challenge the Red Devils Manchester United.
Although Chelsea had been tied with Everton before, the outside world was still shocked by Chelsea's momentum. In the first 11 rounds, Chelsea scored 31 points, with 10 wins and 1 draw!
So even if Chelsea come to Old Trafford as a guest, they are still the more favored team in the eyes of the outside world.
But after the ninety-minute battle, Mourinho looked gloomy!
1:0
The home team goes first!
Manchester United beat Chelsea at home!
Breaking the Blues' league unbeaten streak!
"Hahaha, you should drink a glass of wine here!"
In Andrew's private club in London, Aldridge was sitting on the sofa with a group of friends who had just watched the match between Manchester United and Chelsea. They all toasted to celebrate.
After a glass of wine, Aldridge hugged Carter. He was in high spirits. He lit another cigarette by the way. Carter turned to Aldridge and smiled: "Half a month, chasing 5 points! Haha, Chelsea is really nervous now.
Oh, by the way, do you want to send Ferguson a text message to congratulate him!"
Aldridge blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "No, that's too mean. If Ferguson really saw me sending him such a text message. Haha, I'm afraid he would take it as a humiliation. It looks like Millwall regards Manchester United as
It’s a thug, hahaha...huh?"
After Aldrich finished speaking, he was stunned again.
Carter was just joking, but he didn't expect to find that Aldridge took out his cell phone from his pocket and started writing a congratulatory message after a brief absence.
He quickly stretched out his hand to hold Aldrich's hand, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, hey, you understand the truth, how can you still do it?"
Aldridge pushed his hand away and said seriously: "No, no, no, the truth is the truth. Human nature is human nature. I suddenly remembered that I should indeed send a text message to Ferguson to congratulate him on leading the team for a wonderful game.
game.”
Carter looked confused and asked, "What does this mean?"
"revenge!"
After Aldrich finished writing the text message, he directly pressed send, then threw the phone on the coffee table in front of him and turned to Carter: "Let me think about it, ten years ago, yes, almost ten years ago, the summer of 1996 came
Previously, at the end of the Premier League season, I led Millwall to successfully defeat Newcastle United led by Kevin Keegan.
United, when I was sitting on the bus after the game, Ferguson sent me a text message congratulating me on my victory! At that time, I replied to him with a text message in a strong tone: Millwall defeated Newcastle
United, not to help Manchester United win the championship! The matter was settled, but can you imagine Ferguson's mentality at that time?"
Carter rolled his eyes and nodded: "Do you think he treats you as one of his own like a follower? Hahaha, you defeated Newcastle United and he came to praise you as if it was a reward for you?"
Aldrich shrugged and said nothing, and everyone understood it tacitly.
Ferguson quickly texted Aldridge back. Before the old Scottish man could celebrate his team's victory over Chelsea at home, he was irritated by Aldridge's text message!
"Aldridge, what does this damn text message mean? Don't think that the Premier League is a war between you and Mourinho! Manchester United is not out yet! It's not your turn to praise my victory!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Aldrich laughed out loud when he saw Ferguson's text message back.
Manchester United is indeed not out yet, but after 12 rounds, the results are not particularly outstanding.
7 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, totaling 24 points.
Millwall has 8 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, 27 points.
Chelsea has 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, 31 points.
3 points behind Millwall and 7 points behind Chelsea!
But it's not a question of whether United are out.
Aldrich texted Ferguson again while holding a cigarette and smiling.
"Alex, reply to your text message from ten years ago!"
After this text message was sent, Aldrich waited for a long time, but Ferguson didn't reply again. Carter quickly asked: "What's going on? Is he furious? Still doesn't understand what you are talking about?"
Aldrich shook his head and smiled: "I don't know. I don't care, haha."
It took about 10 minutes before Ferguson responded to the message.
"You are such a vengeful person!"
After reading this text message, Aldrich laughed again.
Whether to hold grudges or not is another matter. At least, the current real situation and mentality, whether Millwall or Aldridge, have changed a lot from ten years ago.
It can even be said that Aldridge has reversed his situation from Ferguson ten years ago.
Carter flipped through the Premier League schedule, poured Aldridge a drink, and asked casually: "Looking at Chelsea's schedule after the first half, before facing us, the most difficult game should be against Arsenal. Can we
Catching up with Chelsea before the Christmas Day clash?"
Aldrich leaned back on the sofa. Music was already playing in the hall at this time. Andrew, Brady, Saul and others all took their female companions to dance. There were people playing cards and billiards next door.
He closed his eyes and replied: "I dare not draw a conclusion on this, hmm...but we should use this momentum to create more pressure on Chelsea!"
After saying that, Aldrich opened his eyes and came to Carter's side.
In half a month, Chelsea went from leading Millwall by 9 points to being chased by Millwall by 4 points after a draw and a loss!
This is a very stressful time!
Creating difficulties for opponents from the outside requires seizing the opportunity.
Previously, Aldrich just casually fanned the flames at the press conference, far from actually building momentum, because he believed that the time had not come yet.
When Chelsea continues to win consecutively and is in full swing, the more Aldridge talks, it will only give the outside world the impression that he is red-eyed, which will in turn make Chelsea's morale even higher!
Look, that young commander is in a hurry!
Praying to God and worshiping Buddha every day, I wish we could lose!
At this juncture, it is a very good time.
Carter asked curiously: "What other crooked idea did you come up with?"
Aldrich blinked and said innocently: "I just used normal means. Haha, you worded it appropriately. You didn't say I was sinister. That's right. Compared to what many teams in football do, I'm pretty clean.
. How have you taken over the club’s media resources?”
Carter smiled and nodded, with a look of calm confidence on his face.
As early as when Yiwen was still working at Millwall, she was in charge of Millwall's private communication channels with the media. This was not about controlling the media, which was simply impossible, because the benefits brought by news broadcasts were difficult to quantify.
, Millwall cannot give enough benefits to the outside world and completely dominate press freedom.
However, a mutually cooperative relationship can be established.
For example, the Millwall Christmas sex scandal that once made a big fuss, when the media got the news, they were bound to report it.
However, before the news is broadcast, the Millwall club will be notified in advance to avoid a sudden attack on Millwall.
And Millwall sometimes leaks information on the transfer market, which is actually an exchange of benefits that they proactively leak to the outside world.
For example, when Aldridge came to Rome, several Fleet Street media broadcast the news a few hours in advance, confirming that Millwall would sign Nesta. Facts have proved that this news is correct.
Everyone in the industry understands that it is not these media that have great power, but their news channel, which is within Millwall.
The most upright cooperation was Aldridge's exclusive cooperation with the BBC after the World Cup. He broadcast live an interview that he would step down as the national team coach after winning the championship. Although he did not leave his job in the end, the report made the BBC gain huge benefits. England
The whole team rushed to the scene to save the audio and video record left by Aldridge, which has become a classic scene in English football.
Carter is a veteran in this area, so after taking office, he first established a good relationship with several important media outlets in Fleet Street to continue and strengthen the secret cooperation between the two parties.
Last season Chelsea was bombarded by public opinion, which showed the effect of this layer of energy.
Is this illegal?
Freedom of speech is not illegal!
Football commentators are free to write whatever they write in their columns.
There is no forced sale to readers.
However, this is like a banker in the financial market who will use the media to mislead the public. God knows how many stock commentators are puppets of the banker!
If Aldrich wanted to "intimidate" Chelsea with public opinion when he met Chelsea last season, then today, he will use a different approach.
Don't say play a trick three times. If you play it twice, the effect may be very different.
"Don't Chelsea want to be the strongest in the world? Then, let's make it the strongest in the world!"
As soon as Aldridge finished speaking, Carter also lit a cigarette. After thinking for a while, he understood and asked softly: "Are you confident that Chelsea can't handle it?"
Aldrich curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "If I can resist it, then I will be convinced of the defeat, but if I can't resist it, hum... When it comes to confidence, it's useless for you to ask me, Mir.
Wall and Chelsea, do I have more confidence in Chelsea? That’s too cowardly!”
Carter laughed, raised his glass to clink with Aldrich, and then drank it down.
Millwall used the media to "intimidate" Chelsea last season.
This season, I am preparing to “beat” Chelsea! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
