114 Advance to the final

When it was time to do serious business, Andrew always acted responsibly.

He did not come forward, but appointed a lawyer from the law firm to represent Aldrich, and he and Aldrich went out and drove away.

British paparazzi followed him and eventually discovered Aldridge and his lawyer walking into the District Court.

Paparazzi were waiting outside the door, and some people in disguise went in to inquire for information.

Half an hour later, Aldrich walked out first, avoiding the interview and driving directly home.

The lawyer representing him made a brief statement after coming out.

"I have filed a lawsuit against Miss Katie Price on behalf of my client, Mr. Aldrich Hall, for defamation. At the same time, we have also applied to the court for an injunction. We have enough evidence that Katie Price

Ms. Si seriously harassed my client’s normal life.”

The paparazzi kept asking questions, but the lawyer said nothing.

They all want to know what the evidence is.

And those materials have been submitted to the court.

However, later, the evidence was made public.

As for who leaked it, no one knows.

The recording of Aldridge's phone call, coupled with the "pornographic photos" that Katie Price mailed to Aldrich on her own initiative, instantly covered the incident with overwhelming coverage in British tabloids.

While digging into the truth behind the incident, the surveillance video of the Green Hotel was also released. On the night of the incident, Katie Price came to the hotel, but Aldrich never appeared in the suite.

The men inside were also found one after another. They admitted that they were waiting for Katie Price to come to her for prostitution, and they also confessed that they had never met Aldrich.

Katie Price wanted to increase her popularity and exposure by throwing dirty water on Aldridge. She succeeded. At least her name became well-known almost overnight. Everyone knew that she was a self-priced person with a price tag of two thousand.

Sterling one night girl.

Andrew was well prepared, all witnesses in the incident were properly arranged, and he put pressure on the court to open the trial as soon as possible.

Katie Price sent a message to Aldrich through her lawyer the next day, hoping to settle privately and for Aldridge to withdraw the lawsuit. She promised not to harass Aldrich again.

However, Aldrich did not have the consciousness to cherish the beauty and immediately refused.

During midweek training in preparation for the League Cup quarter-finals, the atmosphere in the Millwall team was a bit strange. The players always glanced at Aldridge on the sidelines from time to time.

"Robert, are you lazy? Two laps of the court, go!"

Aldrich shouted with a straight face, Pires raised his hands helplessly, and then ran around the field. The other players laughed secretly in their hearts.

It is not a good thing for a coach to get into trouble, especially for mature and self-disciplined professional players. If their leader cannot be respected by them, then there will be cracks in the cooperative relationship. Even though playing football is a profession, there are also interpersonal relationships.

The likes and dislikes of the relationship are in it.

There is a mentor-apprentice relationship between the coach and the players. The most harmonious description of the relationship between the two should be that of a mentor. If Aldridge himself is misbehaving, he will not have the confidence to ask the players to be self-disciplined off the court.

The day before heading to Maine Road, Aldridge attended a press conference alone.

British journalists have always liked to ask questions that are irrelevant to the topic regardless of the occasion.

When his relationship with Melanie was exposed before, Aldridge simply answered a few times. Since the relationship between the two was very low-key, there was no topic for tabloid reporters to dig into. Today, the topic is focused on Aldridge.

Off-site defamation case.

Faced with the reporters' incessant questions, Aldrich pressed his hands and said impatiently: "I will only say once that she wants to make money and I can't give it to her for free, so I gave her the opportunity to make money. I hope

She felt free to stop harassing me, but she spread rumors and slandered my reputation, so I had no choice but to seek legal means to solve the problem. Well, that's the whole story. From now on, I refuse to talk about topics other than the competition.

answer."

The reporters still wanted to ask more detailed questions, but Aldrich kept silent.

As a last resort, the press conference finally returned to the football match itself.

Manchester City has had a hard time in the past few years. They were almost relegated in the past three years, and this season they have hit rock bottom. They have been in the relegation zone since the beginning of the season. Faced with such an opponent, Aldridge tried his best to do his best.

He has no reason to be afraid of Manchester City if he sends his main players to play, even if they are a guest.

The next day, Millwall visited Manchester again in high spirits. At the Maine Road Stadium, Manchester City deliberately used a half-substitute lineup to retain strength in the league. After all, even if they won the cup, if they were relegated from the Premier League, the price of the championship trophy would be high.

Too heavy.

Millwall turned the tables at Maine Road and won a clean three-goal victory thanks to Trezeguet's hat-trick, advancing to the League Cup semi-finals.

The weekend league was the last league match of the first half of the Premier League. Millwall deployed a younger lineup at home, and the result was a narrow victory over the London Civil War rivals Queens Park Rangers.

At the end of the first half of the league, Millwall, led by Aldridge, was still 8 points behind Newcastle United, the Premier League leader, but their performance in their first season was encouraging enough.

However, he started to have a headache.

Because, the Christmas Express has started.

Despite the experience from last season, many foreigners in the team still feel homesick, and their bodies are not used to the intensive schedule without a winter break and having to drive fast.

The most terrible thing is that in early and late January, Millwall will play in the semi-finals of the League Cup. The opponent is Leeds United. For the championship trophy, Aldridge naturally attaches great importance to these two games. However, in the meantime, the Premier League is speeding up.

Millwall faces another devilish schedule in the second half of the season!

On Christmas Day, Ferguson led the new generation of Red Devils to visit the Lion's Den Stadium. Cantona's comeback boosted the Red Devils' morale. The first league game half a season ago is still vivid in their minds, and on this day with a strong festive atmosphere, Christmas

, Millwall and Manchester United gave fans another goal feast.

3:3.

Different from the first round of the league, Millwall scored two goals in the last 20 minutes after being trailing throughout the game. Ferguson, who was in sight of victory, couldn't help but curse on the sidelines.

Aldrich looked a little ugly at the end of the game.

Of the three goals conceded in this game, apart from Andy Cole's long-range shot which left nothing to be said, half of the other two goals conceded were the goalkeeper's responsibility.

After all, Casserly-Keller is not a top goalkeeper. When faced with the test of a strong team with strong firepower, his weaknesses will be exposed.

The young goalkeeper Bute, who has played eight games this season, is performing better and better. Although the opponents are not strong, he can always make wonderful saves in the face of a relatively weak defense. In the end,

There is one important quality that a goalkeeper must have: stability.

Bute has this.

Aldridge invited Ferguson to have a drink after the game, but because it was Christmas, Ferguson regretfully said that we would meet again at the next meeting.

In order to prepare for the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals in early January, the 21st round of the league away to Highbury, Aldridge sent most of the substitute lineup. Under the leadership of Rioch, Arsenal started low and went high, and stumbled at the beginning of the season.

, now it is getting better. At least in terms of points, Arsenal is ranked sixth in the league and has no hope of competing for the championship. But at least the gap with Millwall and Manchester United is not big, only 7 points.

But this was destined to be Rioch's failed season. Arsenal still couldn't change the shadow of dull football in the past. Rioch only stabilized the team and revived the team's fighting spirit, but he did not improve the tactical style.

Essential changes.

Therefore, Arsenal, who are good at defense, faced Millwall's youth team. Their offense was lackluster and their defense was impeccable. In the second round of the league, the two sides played a boring 0:0 game.

Millwall was overtaken by Manchester United by 1 point in the standings, because the draw between Millwall and Manchester United caused Newcastle United to benefit. Before the arrival of January, Newcastle United was 11 points ahead of Manchester United and 12 points ahead of Millwall.

point.

At this time, Ferguson focused all his energy on the league, and directed his verbal barrage at Kevin Keegan.

So angry that Kevin Keegan completely lost his mind and said such words in an interview with the BBC.

"I really want to beat Manchester United, really, really want to beat Manchester United..."

He was unwilling to give up. He was obviously the leader, but he seemed to lack confidence, which made him a laughing stock among the fans.

Kevin Keegan is like a good student who got first place in the class in the mid-term exam. He was suddenly ridiculed by the class monitor and said that it was nothing. You will definitely not get the first place in the final exam. The first place belongs to the class president, so that such a

The mentality of a good student begins to become unbalanced.

Aldridge has no intention of joining in a war of words. He is focusing on his own team. The team's performance was ups and downs at this stage last year. This year, he plans to rotate the players more to lay the foundation for the second half of the season.

Leeds United has been the fifth-ranked team in the league for the past two years, but this year its performance has plummeted, and it has been unable to distance itself from the relegation zone. They are ranked in the middle and lower reaches. They are also distracted by the league, while Aldrich is focusing on cup competitions.

The first leg of the League Cup semi-finals was played at the Lion's Den. With goals from Larsson and Nedvěd, Millwall took the lead with a 2:0 win.

Liverpool have been chasing behind Millwall since the beginning of the season, and the hatred of Anfield's reversal is still lingering in their minds. They visit the Lion's Den with the determination of revenge, but what Aldridge's team is not afraid of most is the home scene.

Against teams that dare to attack wildly.

At 3:2, Solskjaer scored twice and Grenjaer's goal helped the team beat the Red Army before the end. Aldridge achieved a double win against the traditional giant Liverpool in his first season in the Premier League.

But then they suffered a draw against Blackburn at home.

Millwall fans don't care much about the league standings now.

Under much attention, Millwall drew 1:1 with Leeds United at Elland Road and defeated their opponents 3:1 in both legs of the League Cup semi-finals to advance to the final.

Their opponent in the final is Aston Villa, currently ranked fifth in the league.
