Before the national team's match report came out, the first person to take to the streets of Fleet Street during the FIFA match day was the carefree Aldridge.
His casual day made headlines in major newspapers.
Even though his "sentence" was just a show, no one can blame him.
Even the mayor of London praised the environmental slogan handwritten on his sports coat. Britain is a country that advocates environmental protection.
At the Spice Girls' small performance to promote their new album that night, Melanie wore the same promotional slogan on the back of her outfit. Aldridge had not communicated with Melanie at all beforehand. She probably got it during the day.
After hearing the news, they improvised and responded to each other in the evening. This tacit understanding benefited both of them at the same time.
Some TV stations even directly edited the daytime tracking camera and broadcast it as a special program that night, named "Special Volunteers."
Over the past few days, Aldrich's popularity has once again risen to a new level, and his influence has also increased.
In the Times published on Friday, a reporter wrote: When football experts are estimating the value of Millwall players and debating who is the most valuable player in this team, who has estimated the value of Aldridge Horror?
Hall's value? In my opinion, Millwall's number one star is not Larsson, not Nedvěd, or other players, but Hall. If Hall disappears from Millwall, I believe more than 80%
Everyone will change their views on Millwall again, and will lower Millwall's competitiveness by at least one level. Millwall's image is likely to be brought back to its original shape. Hall, this young coach, is no less charming than
Of course, any popular star or coach in the Premier League still needs trophies to prove himself, but let’s make a bold assumption. If Hall proves himself with championships, how much more will his value increase from now?
In the past few days, Aldridge worked as a cleaner, visited a nursing home, an orphanage, and went to the hospital accompanied by several players. The players' behavior was instigated by their agent Andrew, which is conducive to their establishment of a positive public image.
Image, and it all has the color of Millwall Club.
Even West Ham United and Chelsea, who are locked in a fight with Millwall, cannot accuse Aldridge of a series of actions that seek fame and reputation.
One fact that people cannot deny is that celebrity effect is indeed important.
An ordinary person saying please be kind to the old and young is far less effective than the same words coming from a famous person's mouth.
Aldrich is doing free public service advertising, and this kind of advertising is needed by society, and the public recognizes it from the bottom of their hearts and hopes that the more the better.
Not only do Millwall people like Aldridge now, more and more neutral fans are also becoming supporters of Aldridge. This support will be passed on to the Millwall club, as can be seen from the sales of jerseys and souvenirs.
Gotta come out.
Off-site public service announcements and voluntary labor are not Aldrich's main jobs. Therefore, despite the hype, most of his time in life is still devoted to his job.
After the FIFA match day, Millwall continued its good momentum. A big victory in the league pushed Southampton firmly into the relegation zone. Then, the atmosphere at the Millwall club became a little tense because they were about to usher in history.
sexual moment.
The atmosphere on the training ground became very strange.
Although the players usually train hard and seriously under the supervision of the coach, it is normal to occasionally tell a joke to relax the atmosphere. However, in the days before the League Cup final, the players became very silent and just immersed themselves in training.
.
It feels like the calm before the storm.
Aldridge has not been in the industry for a long time and he lacks experience. Let alone him, this is the first time in the Millwall club's 110-year history that they have reached a cup final.
He himself was not panicked, but instead took a very open-minded view. It didn't matter even if he lost to reduce the pressure on himself. There was still a long time ahead.
However, he should always find a way to win, this is his job.
But he was at a loss. He didn't know whether to let the players relax at this time or make the players more serious.
The first option is to fear that the players will really relax and underestimate their opponents.
The second option is to worry that the players will be too nervous and unable to perform freely.
Aldridge was in a dilemma, and finally called the coaching staff from top to bottom and held a special meeting.
Other coaches also discovered this situation and were asked by Aldrich for advice. They all looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they were at a loss to do anything.
Because it was the first time that they were older girls getting on the sedan chair.
Although I used to work at Ajax, I was not in the first team after all. I couldn't enter the locker room, and I didn't know how to deal with the preparation process before the game.
Aldridge thought about it and decided to choose the lesser of two evils. Instead of underestimating the enemy and letting the team relax mentally, it would be better to let them enter the final stage with high fighting spirit.
In the locker room after training, Aldridge will play a famous song while the players rest.
Burana.
Legend has it that it was used as a military song by the Nazi Germans during World War II. A few years later, it was changed into the classic the-mass by the famous music group Era.
This is a piece of music that is absolutely inspiring and can arouse the passionate emotions of men fighting passionately.
The weekend's final is of great significance to most players. It may be the first trophy in their careers, and it is also the first trophy in Aldridge's coaching career.
And this touches the nerves of every Millwall person.
Will the 110-year wait and the century-long history of no championship come to an end on the last Sunday in February 1996?
After training on Saturday, Aldridge returned to his parents' villa in the eastern suburbs and stayed here for one night.
The next day, with his suit and ties neatly packed, he was kissed on the forehead by his mother and hugged by his father before going out.
Then, Aldrich walked out of the villa and drove to the club with a calm look on his face.
Arthur and his wife were still at home. Amelia asked Arthur: "Will we sit in the same box as Ellis this afternoon?"
Arthur sneered and said: "How is that possible? I don't want to have a conflict with an old man who has cancer."
"Don't you have a good relationship?"
"What the heck, he just used me to piss off Bates. He looked at me like he was a horse boy. Damn, being rich is a big deal. In a few years, our family will be richer than him.
"
The couple mentioned that Ellis is the owner of Aston Villa. He is a wealthy man with nearly 20 business interests. However, his investment in Aston Villa is very stingy, with the intention of making the club self-sufficient.
Pattern is running the team.
Doug Ellis, who is about seventy years old, suffers from prostate cancer and loves to show off his wealth. He usually rides in a red and stylish Rolls-Royce. Half a year ago, he invited Chelsea boss Bates to go on vacation on his cruise ship. As a result, he
Ci was very unreasonable and told him in front of him that the cook on the ship was terrible.
Oops, this made Ellis very upset, and he fell out with Bates, and then he attracted Arthur, who was competing with Bates at the round table meeting. Although Arthur had the attributes of a gangster, he was a good person, and with Ellis
The hypocrisy made Bates a little angry, but it was just for fun anyway.
But today is the day when Millwall and Aston Villa compete for the League Cup championship. Arthur can no longer play with Ellis. If the two of them sit in the same box, Arthur feels that something will definitely happen.
Aston Villa won the championship, Arthur smashed the box for no reason.
Millwall won the championship, Arthur came up to celebrate too excitedly, and Ellis probably couldn't stand it either.
Arthur has planned that on this absolutely special day, he will stand in the stands with his former brothers, just like their fathers once cheered for the team at the Lion's Den.
Other family members can go to the box, but he won't go anyway.
In the past one hundred and ten years, since Arthur could remember, his grandfather, grandfather, and father have all said this sentence countless times.
"There are no championships at Millwall."
If you say you don’t care, who will believe it?
I have waited too long for the first championship trophy. I have waited so long that the sea has turned into mulberry fields, and so many young people have gone to their graves...
Today, Arthur is extremely proud. His son will definitely end the club's century-long history of no championships. He firmly believes that.
And this was a day that he and many of his brothers had to bear shoulder to shoulder, carrying the expectations that their ancestors had carried into their graves.
As soon as noon passed, traffic from East London to North London began to be blocked.
The reason is that Millwall fans began to flock to Wembley Stadium in northwest London. Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate more than 60,000 fans, must be full today. In addition to the tickets allocated to fans of the two teams,
Tickets sold through normal channels were also sold out, and even though the prices were severely raised by scalpers, the enthusiasm of Millwall people to grab tickets and enter the stadium remained unabated.
For Aston Villa, they once had a glorious time, reaching the top of Europe fourteen years ago, but that seemed to be their last glory. Since then, they have never won a top league title, but they won the League Cup the year before last, in 1994.
They are the champions. This is the second time in three years that they have reached the finals.
Unlike Millwall, who faced weak opponents all the way to the League Cup finals, Aston Villa's path to promotion can be described as a series of wins over powerful players, and it seems that their tickets to the finals are more valuable.
It is precisely because they proved their strength during the promotion process that the finals are even more exciting.
Now Millwall, who is third in the Premier League standings, faces Aston Villa, who is fifth. There is no doubt that this is a strong clash, although the names of the two teams don't sound loud enough.
When the team buses of the two teams drove into Wembley, Aldridge saw the blue ocean outside Wembley through the car window. Because it is located in London, people from Millwall came even if they didn't have tickets.
When you get here, cheer for the team from the nearest distance.
Aldrich told himself in his heart: Maybe for himself, he can lose, but for them, he can't lose even to death!
Phew, the bus stopped and the door opened.
Aldridge was the first to stand up and said in a deep voice without looking back: "Millwall."
The players reflexively shouted: "Go, go, go!"
"get off."
Aldrich got off the bus first.
