In the summer of 2008, during the just-concluded season of the Premier League, Millwall successfully defended the league title with a terrifying record of 35 wins and 3 draws. The attacking firepower of the third-generation Mad Lions scared Europe. After all, Millwall did not participate in the European Championships.
war, but in England, it has made all competitors shudder.☆→
Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Villa, as the main trident, have jointly scored 87 goals in 38 rounds of the league. If you include Kaká, the number of goals in the league alone will exceed 100!
Fleet Street joke: When Ronaldo or Messi plays, Millwall will have a 1:0 halo. If both of them play at the same time, they will have a 2:0 halo. If all four of the attacking group appear, 99% of the game victory belongs to Millwall.
Wall.
Under the steady leadership of Aldridge, Millwall once again completed domestic dominance and defended the Triple Crown!
In the summer European Cup, Spain reaches the top!
Just one week after the European Cup, the Lion King Stadium ushered in a veteran retirement ceremony.
The ceremony takes place in the evening.
There were no full-field lights on at Lion King Stadium, but it was not completely dark in the stadium stands.
There are three giant portraits flying in the south stand, and huge lights shine on them, which is particularly shocking at night!
Nedved, Larsson, Schneider!
On the other three stands, the seats arranged in advance are decorated with lights to create pictures: 7, 10, and 11.
Under each number, there is the name of the corresponding player.
No. 7, Schneider.
No. 10, Nedved.
No. 11, Larson.
The three veterans decided to retire together at this time!
Larsson will turn 37 in two months.
Nedved will be 36 in a month and a half.
Schneider was only 35 years old at the end of the year. However, a serious injury in the Champions League last season caused his condition to plummet. German coach Loew failed to give Schneider a chance to participate in the European Cup at the last moment. It was indeed because he was in Millwall.
Er's performance has lost its aura during his playing time this season, and he has made some mistakes, and his physical condition has declined significantly.
The three veterans chose to retire together. They did not hold a retirement match, but simply held a brief farewell ceremony with the fans at home.
In the star-studded Lion King Stadium, Schneider Nedved and Larsson walked into the stadium easily in casual clothes. They stood side by side. When the lights flashed, the huge
When the beam of light enveloped them, the entire stadium erupted into roaring cheers and thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time!
Compared to Southgate's retirement, which was a star-studded retirement match with a dazzling array of trophies and honors on display, it was a bit more exaggerated and flashy. Today, when these three veterans retire, the ceremony is extraordinarily simple and low-key. Everything is self-explanatory.
They used their fourteen years of youthful passion to compose their own green legend!
They made the No. 7, No. 10, and No. 11 jerseys very meaningful in the Millwall club, and it will be Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, and Aguero who will inherit this honor and responsibility.
Although countless fans were applauding in the stands, many fans were crying while applauding.
I don’t want to say goodbye, I want to see you one more time on the green field!
Aldridge stood on the sidelines and secretly wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes. He knew that from the first day he coached the team, he would not have his own success without them, so when they took the curtain call, his heart was full of joy.
Infinite gratitude.
He gently patted the backs of his two sons standing beside him. Earl and Bert, wearing Lions jerseys, walked into the field carrying a flagpole wrapped in a flag.
Arriving in front of the three Nedveds, Bert solemnly handed the flagpole to Nedved, and let the mad lion god of war wave the flag of the mad lion!
But Nedved knelt down and smiled at Bert, whispered something into his ear, and then gave Bert an encouraging look.
Bert's face became firm. He stood in front of the three people and raised the flagpole. Earl pulled the corner of the flag and whirred...
The flag with the mighty emblem of the Wild Lions appeared in the sight of the audience. Bert tried his best to wave the flag. With every wave of his flag, the fans at the scene would burst into cheers, and the momentum became louder and louder.
Soaring straight into the sky!
Nedved, Larsson, and Schneider put their arms around each other's best friend's shoulders and watched the young man in front of them, Bert, waving the Mad Lion flag again and again. This picture made them feel peaceful and sighing.
They are no longer the future of the Crazy Lion, just as they chose to retreat bravely instead of promising Aldrich to persist as much as possible and write an immortal legend. That is meaningless. They just want to do what is best for the Crazy Lion. The current Crazy Lion
, what is needed is fresh blood. While European football is ushering in a new era, the Wild Lions also need a new look!
These old guys, hehe, should be self-aware and leave opportunities to young people.
Because in another season, the Mad Lions will return to the European war. The European war in the new era will be more cruel and competitive than in the past!
They hope that players in the team such as Aguero, Moutinho, and Veloso can improve their level as much as possible in the next year, and then the Mad Lions will be in the best condition to meet the challenges of the new era!
As the third generation of Crazy Lions approaches its peak, the first generation of Crazy Lions has almost announced its complete withdrawal from the historical stage belonging to Crazy Lions!
Half of them were gone around 1998. Those who have continued to fight until today after 1998, Schneider, Nedvěd, Larsson, and Southgate have all retired, but Butt, who is left, has also retired in the past two years.
He has been out of sight since 2001, and has been working hard as Millwall's substitute goalkeeper, always on call to prepare for the team's emergencies.
The mainstays of the second generation of Lions, Ronaldinho and Henry, have also entered the countdown to leaving the team.
Their competitive state is completely incomparable with the emerging force of the third generation of Mad Lions. They have all dedicated their best youth to the Mad Lions. Ronaldinho and Henry will stay in Millwall for another season and are scheduled to stay in Millwall next season.
After finishing the job, they went to the United States to hunt for gold, and changed their direction to help Millwall develop commercial cooperation with American football clubs and expand the American market. No matter where they go, they will carry their status as a legend of the Wild Lion. They will be talked about and remembered by others.
A legendary journey in European football!
The reason why the retirement ceremony of Nedvěd, Larsson, and Schneider was simple is because they did not bid farewell to the Lions completely. Southgate went to work in the Football Association, and these three veterans were
Aldridge stayed in the club with great sincerity. He entered the management, or participated in the commercial development work of the club's global promotion, or participated in the team's future internal operations. They just stopped their expedition in the green world.
, has not left completely and will also play an important role in the Millwall club.
When the new season arrives, Lions fans are familiar with the new situation with subtle emotions: In the VIP stands of the Lion King Stadium, Nedved, Schneider, and Larsson are sitting side by side watching the game.
.sometimes talking and laughing, and sometimes looking serious.
This definitely made the fans not used to it at first...
In the 2008-2009 season, Millwall still did not participate in the European competition. This season's Champions League will be the last edition of the European Champions League!
Aldridge also knows the importance of this season, so he focuses on further improving the strength of young players in the cup, including Bell and Royce who have entered the first team substitute lineup.
The European Elite League is also continuing to develop, and the number of member clubs has soared to more than 30. However, the European Super League has not reformed the competition system and still has 24 participating teams to ensure the quality of the competition.
In the summer of 2009, Millwall failed to maintain its complete monopoly on domestic trophies and only won two trophies, the League Cup and the League Championship. Something went wrong in the FA Cup during training and they were upset.
After the season, Henry and Ronaldinho went to the American Major League hand in hand. During their farewell ceremony, the club displayed the second authentic UEFA Champions League trophy. On it were engraved the names of the second generation of crazy lions who made the finals. The first one was
Ronaldinho and Henry followed closely. It was the memory and glory that they created in the Lions. The Hall of Fame of the Lions suddenly became crowded. Ronaldinho and Henry became the most shining stars in the Lions' decade of glory.
One of the names, and a new journey is already before the crazy lion.
In the summer of 2009, European football ushered in a new round of shock. Although the world economic crisis began to break out, the football market continued to rise uncharacteristically because the first UEFA Super League was about to kick off. Those teams that were sure to qualify for the competition

England's confirmed teams to participate in the A-level competition are Manchester United and Chelsea. Liverpool will play in the A-level play-offs. If they win, they will play in the A-level competition. If they lose, they will be relegated to the B-level competition. Arsenal will directly enter the B-level competition. Mir.
Wall will start from the B-level qualifying rounds.
The participating teams in Italy's A-level competition are Inter Milan and Juventus, AC Milan will play in the qualifying round, Fiorentina will play in the B-level competition, and Roma will play in the qualifying round.
There was a shocking result in Spain. The A-level qualifications were obtained steadily by the La Liga duo Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, the qualifications deemed to belong to Valencia a year and a half ago were eliminated by subsequent members Sevilla due to their league record.
Taking the lead, Valencia even failed to qualify for the B-level competition. Atletico Madrid was involved in the B-level competition, and the qualifying ticket was obtained by Villarreal.
Teams that have steadily qualified for the A-level or B-level competition have obtained sufficient funds for the competition one step ahead. They have set off a shopping frenzy in the transfer market, vying to acquire high-quality stars from first-tier clubs.
Under the account, the transfer market in European football has been turbulent.
Millwall is very quiet, and the resource pyramid system of the football market is fully reflected in them.
The best talent resources are hard to come by, and can be said to have a price but no market.
Millwall already has top-level players such as Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, De Rossi, Nesta, Buffon, Lahm, Alonso and so on. They are not afraid of others buying players to enrich their strength.
In contrast, Millwall actually benefited the most from this shock to the European football landscape during this period!
Because in terms of operating costs, they are far ahead of their competitors!
Don't look at the extremely high prices and benefits offered by Real Madrid and Barcelona to poach people, but in terms of cost, they need to pay high transfer fees + contract benefits.
Millwall already has the best stars. After obtaining new benefits, they do not need to spend more than 100 million or more in transfer fees. They can add this part of the cost to the team's salary system, so that The treatment they give players has become higher, and if other teams want to poach them, the cost will increase accordingly!
This allows Millwall to be more determined to retain the top players in the team! It can already lead other European giants in terms of salary!
