Millwall finally knocked on the door of victory in the third round of the league, and it was a six-goal victory. After the game, Aldridge praised the team's performance in an interview and did not mention a word about the visiting team, which is meaningless.
That night he cooked at home and spent a pleasant evening chatting with Puskas and his father about today's game.
The next day's Premier League headlines were "The Lions make a strong comeback!"
The Times unexpectedly reported such a news with a front-page headline.
"That fat guy is back again!"
The subtitle is "Puskas: Return of the King!"
The accompanying picture shows the stands of the Lion's Den Stadium. Puskas is sitting in the middle with his arms raised and cheering for the goal. Arthur next to him jumps up. Yiwen on the other side smiles and applauds movingly.
Originally, the live broadcast camera captured Millwall Chairman Arthur, but when some senior people in the football circle saw the old man next to Arthur, they tried hard to recall and verify some old photos before they dared to confirm.
It's that fat guy!
It was the fat man who led the golden team in history to Wembley and was remembered by all the viewers!
It has been more than 40 years since then, but for the fans at that time, Puskas, a somewhat fat flying major, was unforgettable. The Hungarian national team he led directly destroyed England's dignity at home.
Even though England returned to Budapest half a year later with great strength, they only suffered greater humiliation!
Why is this all-time legend at the Lion's Den?
Just watching the game?
It doesn't look like that. It seems that he has a good relationship with the people around him.
Fleet Street paid more attention to the emergence of Puskas than Millwall's six-goal sweep of Coventry.
Even Real Madrid got the news and called Millwall Club to ask: Why is our legendary star in your house?
But Real Madrid only made a symbolic inquiry. They have not yet entered the era of true global commercialization. Even Stefano has not returned to Real Madrid to serve as honorary chairman.
This year's international match days are scheduled for the end of August, early September and early October. After the first three rounds of the Premier League, the players have to move to the international arena.
During this period, Aldridge expressed his attitude in an interview: Puskas was recuperating in London and came to the Lion's Den just to watch the game. He had no other intention and hoped that the outside world would not disturb him.
At the same time, he also began to express his views tactfully to French national team coach Jacques through the media.
"Although Trezeguet is young, he is improving every day. He is a forward with distinctive characteristics. I think there is a place for him in the future of the French team. Makelele has completed the position transformation at Millwall. He used to be
He played as a full-back, but switched to playing as a midfielder after coming to Millwall. His characteristics and functions are remarkable. This kind of player should be the coach's favorite, because you know what kind of effect you can achieve by sending him on the field.
If you want to control the game, contain the opponent's offense, or just simply strengthen the defense, then send Makelele. If you ask him to achieve 100 points, he will give 120 points. I hope coach Jacquet can pay attention to these two
Players, if they have been improving and contributing to the team and performing well in top-level competitions, then please give them a chance to play for the country."
Aldridge's sincere remarks were meant to win people's hearts, but as long as the players appreciated it, because he could see that Makelele and Trezeguet were a little depressed about not being selected for the national team.
The World Cup in France is only two years away. Trezeguet can catch the last train, and Aldridge hopes Makelele can too. After all, it is a World Cup held in France, which is of great significance. Moreover, France is the championship team, and the main position is expected to be
It's impossible to win, but winning a world championship title is an unattainable dream for many players.
Before the players returned to the team, Millwall officially announced a big piece of news.
An official press conference was held, and Aldridge personally announced in front of all reporters: Within five years, Millwall will have a new top-level stadium!
The expected completion diagram and name of the new stadium were also released, and a giant poster was made and posted on the wall of the club's main building.
The magnificent Lion King Stadium!
Even though the fans are reluctant to leave the Lion's Den Stadium, there was a plan for a new stadium five or six years ago, and they are already mentally prepared to welcome the new stadium.
After all, Millwall's European Cup Winners' Cup home games in the new season are going to be held at Wembley, which has made fans realize that as the team gets stronger, their infrastructure no longer matches the team's strength.
Once the new stadium plan was announced, it immediately caused a sensation.
Is Millwall's pace going against the grain?
Just by looking at the promotional pictures of the stadium, you can tell how huge the investment will be. Other Premier League teams have built new stadiums in the past few years, most of which have a capacity of 30,000 to 40,000 pounds, with a maximum cost of 30 million pounds. Millwall's stadium has a capacity of 60,000 pounds.
, and the attached area is so large. To build a comprehensive commercial and entertainment stadium, it almost feels like they are dreaming.
If you build such a big stadium, do you have that many fans?
It definitely didn't happen two years ago, and maybe it did a year ago. Now, if not 60,000 fans, at least 40,000 is no problem. As long as Millwall can maintain this upward trend, attendance will not be a problem when the new stadium is built.
Who told us to be located in the international metropolis London?
This advantage alone is unmatched by other teams. For example, Blackburn is a tragedy. As soon as the record drops, the attendance rate immediately becomes miserable.
Millwall's long-term plan caused an uproar in the Premier League. Ferguson commented on this: Millwall has the ambition to challenge the traditional order. They almost succeeded last season. I have no doubt that in the future, Millwall will
Become a regular fixture in the Premier League title race, but they are still young and other teams in the Premier League should also announce their presence when playing against them, letting Millwall understand that success will not come easily.
Aldridge did not respond to external comments. He just announced his own plans. The rest of the work is left to Adam, who will be very busy this season. Not only does he have to prepare for the new stadium project, but he also has to prepare for the future.
Go to many offshore financial centers to establish cooperative relationships to help Millwall split contracts when signing agreements with players in the future, so as to achieve the effect of tax avoidance and cost reduction.
There is no way, the salary cost will be higher and higher in the future, and it will not work without some tax avoidance means. Tax avoidance and tax evasion are two different concepts. The former is legal, and the latter will go to jail.
After the national team match day ended, Millwall took a short rest and headed to the north bank of the Thames River to visit the old neighbor that has been criticized by the Lions fans this summer: Arsenal.
Wenger hasn't even taken office yet, but the season has already started.
The distraught Rioch was embarrassed. He knew that the team would have a new coach to replace him, but he still had to lead the team to play the game. They defeated the Hammers in the first game, and everything was calm in North London. In the second round, they visited Anfield to win.
After two bombs, Rioch was flooded with saliva from Arsenal fans again. In anger, Rioch puffed up his chest and gave the Arsenal board of directors an ultimatum: I won’t play anymore!
So after leading the team to an away victory over newly promoted Leicester City in the third game, Rioch took charge and left in style.
The unscrupulous Fleet Street immediately fanned the flames, saying that Rioch left early because he was afraid of losing to Millwall in the London derby at Highbury.
Aldrich's nickname from more than a year ago was brought up again.
Coach Killer, this time it was better, he didn't even have to fight. The opponent was frightened and ran away.
This is all Fleet Street bullshit to attract attention.
Aldridge doesn't care at all, but hey. The current Arsenal coach is Horston, who was the caretaker coach after Graham left. This man is really a brick. He can be moved wherever he needs to. When Rioch comes, he will step down immediately.
, Rioch left, and in order to wait for Wenger to come, he resumed the game without saying a word.
Arsenal was having a bad year. They knew before the season that a new coach was coming, and the media also trumpeted that Wenger was a layman. This directly misled the Arsenal players. Even captain Adams bluntly ridiculed Wenger in interviews, feeling that
How can a coach from Japan understand English football culture?
Rioch finally spent one season making Arsenal stable. Although he failed to reshape Arsenal, at least the entire Arsenal team still focused on playing football honestly.
But now, the Arsenal dressing room is in turmoil again.
Vieira and Pires, who were newly joined in the summer, could not even sit on the bench. Rioch wanted to give face to the big brothers in the team. Anyway, these two players were not what he wanted. Arsenal did not ask him about summer transfers at all.
Opinions, it was only later that I discovered that he was actually a spare tire. These two people were bought in the transfer market. It was easy to send them on the field, but who should be removed from the main position? He has the ability to please Pires and Vieira.
What’s the use? Why don’t you look like a human being inside and out?
Amid internal and external troubles, the London Derby started at Highbury.
The Arsenal fans in the stands were numb. It used to be boring football, but at least there was a championship. Now they have no hope at all!
The head coach who had just gained a foothold in one year left the team, and Horston looked like a transparent person on the sidelines.
What makes them most desperate is that Arsenal, a traditional giant and a club that gave birth to Chapman, the master of tactics who changed the world of football and led the way, actually wants to hire a coach from Japan.
What else is there to do in this life?
The Arsenal players were obviously demoralized and dissatisfied with the club. They finally had some morale, but once Riochi left, everything was gone.
Even during today's game, when Aldridge came out of the tunnel, he could smell the smell of alcohol on several Arsenal players.
Millwall's players are playing with great motivation. They are truly experiencing the passion and charm of football. Compared with the 442 last season, the 433 formation they are playing now is more varied and offensive. The players are not busy running.
Being blind, penetrating the opponent's defense and having space to express themselves makes them very excited.
There were only a few thousand Millwall fans in the stands and they were even more excited.
Groups of people singing songs are more festive than the Chinese New Year.
"Boss, bore, come and meet the King of London!"
Arsenal didn't play aggressively enough, but at least they defended well. In the whole game, Millwall only allowed Millwall to penetrate the goal twice.
Millwall defeated Arsenal with two goals in the away game, and the momentum of recovery is very strong.
After two consecutive victories, Millwall's crazy momentum is out of control.
Sheffield Wednesday 0:3 Millwall
Millwall 4:1 Aston Villa
Liverpool 2:4 Millwall
Millwall 2:0 Nottingham Forest
Leicester City 1:3 Millwall
Millwall 5:0 Wimbledon
Millwall 4:1 Tottenham
Until the end of the Premier League in October, Millwall achieved fourteen consecutive victories in all competitions. From the third round to the 12th round of the Premier League, they also achieved nine consecutive victories, with great momentum!
In the twelfth round of the Premier League, Millwall is unstoppable and rushes to Manchester to challenge the defending champion Manchester United!
