After Millwall won the seventh Champions League trophy in the club's history, the media gave overwhelming coverage to Millwall's peak glory.
League, FA Cup, Champions League, Millwall once again completed the triple crown in the summer of 2006.
The front pages of Fleet Street's major newspapers and tabloids were filled with post-match photos of Millwall.
The scene of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká holding the cup together and kissing the Big Ear Cup, I wonder how many female fans will be fascinated by it.
Nedvěd, Larsson, Ronaldinho, and Henry stood calmly in front of the trophy. The plain but recorded scene will become a classic.
The Millwall veterans, represented by Nedved, broke the Champions League personal honor record in one fell swoop and became legends who won the championship seven times. They are living legends!
The entire Millwall team that triumphed in London held a parade to celebrate their championship. On that day, the entire east London traffic was blocked and there were countless Millwall fans celebrating in the streets. This grand celebration lasted all day until
It ended late at night, and the entire Millwall team received a commendation from the mayor and was invited by the royal family to visit Buckingham Palace the next day.
On May 20th, Aldridge’s 30th birthday came. He originally wanted to spend the day peacefully and warmly at home with his family. After all, the continuous campaign at the end of the season was a serious drain on energy, and the celebration after winning the championship was too much.
Played a little too much.
But he didn't expect that he would be awakened by the roar of a sports car outside his home in the early morning while still wearing his underpants.
Standing in front of the bedroom window and looking down, he saw Ronaldo in casual clothes, Kaka, De Rossi, Alonso and others standing next to their respective cars. Aguero stood on the roof of De Rossi's car.
He shouted towards Aldrich's home: "Boss, happy birthday! Come out quickly, we have arranged a program for you today!"
Aldrich opened the window and yelled: "Damn it! It's 6 o'clock in the morning! Don't make any noise here! The neighbors will complain! If you don't live here, don't give me any trouble!"
"Boss, your white underwear is exposed! Be careful! Wow, where are your abdominal muscles? You have really become an uncle!"
"Asshole, my abs are still there. Look! They're still there! Get out of here!"
Aldrich deliberately bent his abdomen slightly and exerted force, and indeed he still had the outline of six-pack abs.
In order to prevent these bastards from disturbing the neighbors, Aldrich quickly dressed and washed, and was about to teach them a lesson when he was ambushed by Cristiano Ronaldo and De Rossi at the door. They put him in the car one on the left and the other on the right.
And go.
Yiwen took a step slower and stood at the door with a look of helplessness, thinking that he didn't know how to comfort his daughter Bonnie. Today is Aldrich's birthday. If her father disappears, God knows whether this little princess will cause chaos in the family.
!
Fortunately, the group of players drove a car and "kidnapped" Aldridge as soon as he left. Andrew took his wife and drove to the door. After getting out of the car, he smiled at Ivan and said: "Haha, today I want to give Aldridge a gift."
It’s a surprise. You guys should pack it up and let’s go. Big brother is back too. Let’s go out to sea today. Big brother bought another luxury cruise ship.”
Yiwen was relieved and went back to the house and went upstairs to wake up the children. While they were still dazed, Yiwen drove behind Andrew's car and left the community.
What Yiwen didn't expect was that they went to the airport. On Millwall's private plane, Aldridge was catching up on his sleep wearing an eye mask, surrounded by all the Millwall players, their families, girlfriends, and children.
They played together, the adults chatted happily, and the plane took off, flying to the Mediterranean.
Before noon, they boarded a luxury cruise ship and went out to sea for fun.
Barnett is really rich.
This time, Aldridge's two older brothers and the entire Millwall team came together to have the idea of celebrating Aldridge's birthday. When it became a reality, it exceeded expectations.
The players' initial idea was to book a hotel in the city and hold a private party.
Unexpectedly, I ended up on a cruise ship and cruised the Mediterranean Sea.
Aldrich's friends and Millwall employees, a total of more than 300 people, had fun on the luxury cruise ship. In the evening, Barnett's big deal came.
The last year's Grammy pop singers, female singers, and band winners took a private plane to the cruise ship. John Mayer, Norah Jones, and Los Lonely Boyz sang on the same stage, setting off a stir.
The atmosphere on the cruise ship was a three-hour mini-concert!
Aldrich, who was wearing board shorts and an unbuttoned casual shirt, was holding a wine glass, bumped Barnett with his elbow, and asked in a low voice: "How much does this cost?"
Barnett rolled his eyes at him and replied: "Don't ask for money, can you? So what if I tell you? It's all spent anyway. You are already a rich man worth more than 3 billion pounds. Spend some money."
Is the style of a rich person okay?”
Aldrich scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said nothing.
He did remember that he had a significant stake in Barnett's company. Barnett probably calculated the value of the shares before saying that Aldridge was worth over 3 billion pounds. Of course, Barnett automatically ignored it.
How much is Millwall worth? I always thought Aldridge didn't have a small treasury.
In fact, Aldridge does not count his shares in Big Brother, nor how much Millwall is worth. He already has more than 500 million pounds in his private account. Except for some earned by the club in the past, the rest are long-term.
Stocks that have been invested in for over ten years.
It's not that he is stingy, it's just that he still lives like that when he has more money. He is just a day or two of excitement, and after two days of depravity, that's all he can think about afterwards. Give him 10 million pounds, and he can be very happy.
With this thought in mind, Barnett estimated that he would have spent ten million pounds on celebrating his birthday today. He would certainly care about it.
This small concert, coupled with the players' wishes, is not the happiest thing for Aldrich.
After the concert, the last person to perform on stage was his daughter Bonnie.
Bonnie, who was wearing a princess dress, had no stage fright. She had an inexplicable elegance while sitting in front of the piano. She performed a Chopin's Rhapsody Impromptu smoothly and freely.
Aldrich didn't understand piano music. But at this moment, when everyone remained quiet and stared at Bonnie playing music, accompanied by the sound of the waves coming from time to time, Aldrich was intoxicated by what this meant to him.
In the artistic conception of nature.
His daughter can play Chopin.
It simply made him more touched and proud than any number of honors he had received on the football field!
Such a touch almost made his eyes wet.
At the end of the performance, the audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers!
For a little girl to be able to play a piece of music so well, the adults naturally applauded louder than those celebrities from the United States.
Bonnie, who showed no timidity during the performance, suddenly blushed. She trotted off the stage and threw herself into Aldridge's arms, not daring to see anyone.
Aldrich picked her up and laughed.
On this day, the thirty-year-old Aldrich spent an unforgettable birthday in the company of his family, friends, and disciples.
...
After the end-of-season championship celebrations and Aldridge's 30th birthday, Millwall's 2005-2006 season has officially come to an end. There are still almost half a month before the World Cup. This is exactly what the German World Cup Organizing Committee specially arranged. I hope that all countries
The national players can fully rest and come to Germany in a high-spirited state to deliver a successful and exciting World Cup to fans around the world.
Aldrich began to live in seclusion. He had no travel plans in the summer because he accepted Beckenbauer's invitation four years ago. He will go to Germany to watch the German World Cup live in the summer. At least he will appear as a VIP at the opening ceremony.
Millwall Club's contract renewal is on the agenda, and Aldridge hopes that the players can finalize the contract extension before the World Cup starts.
We need to have a good discussion about salary increases that need to be raised and players that need to be repositioned.
Before the start of the World Cup, Aldridge first had formal talks with young players such as Messi and Ramos on the team to inform them of their upcoming roles next season.
Although Schneider is still the main candidate for the German national team, that is because the German team has a shortage of talents. After all, Schneider will be 33 years old next season, and Aldrich decided to let Ramos officially take over.
At the same time, Messi will also be supported by Aldrich. Maybe this process will not establish his status all of a sudden, but at least he will be qualified to compete for the main force, unlike those like Larmour and Glenchard.
The fate of players and substitutes will not change in any way.
Before negotiating a contract extension with Bute, Millwall sent away veteran Pagliuca. Pagliuca, who retired honorably at Millwall, did not want the club to give him a grand retirement ceremony. He just wanted to leave quietly.
The club respected his idea and only announced his retirement on the official website and held a small party for him internally. After the veteran left, Aldridge had a formal showdown with him regarding Butt's issue.
Butt's performance last season cannot be said to be terrible, but the occasional low-level mistakes made Aldrich worried. Although he won the Champions League final, it was extremely thrilling. Butt's mistakes almost ruined the team's efforts for the whole season. Therefore,
Aldridge must have a showdown with him.
He hopes that Bute will stay at Millwall as a substitute and the main goalkeeper. Aldridge will be purchased separately from the transfer market. Joe Hart will improve if he is loaned out for training, but if he wants to get a position at a wealthy club like Millwall,
His overall level and experience are still very lacking.
What makes Aldridge gratified is that Bute, who can play the main role in other first-tier clubs, has no thoughts of transfer. The conversation between him and Aldridge is open and honest, and they are calm and can understand each other's positions.
Since Butt replaced Kelly as Millwall's main goalkeeper ten years ago, he has always been a slightly inadequate point in Millwall's lineup in the media's mouth, but Aldridge has always given him trust for ten years!
Bute was satisfied with this. Now, it was his turn to repay the club, so he willingly accepted the role of substitute and would do anything as long as the club needed him.
The contract renewals of other players are going smoothly, and the poaching of other giants has not yet officially started. Millwall has settled the overall situation, leaving no opportunity for others to take advantage of the loopholes.
After settling the club affairs, in early June, Aldridge took his family to Germany to experience the atmosphere of the World Cup and regard it as a nearby trip. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
