When Millwall scored the fourth goal, some Red Devils fans in the Old Trafford stands began to leave early. Whether they couldn't bear to see the Red Devils continue to be slaughtered or couldn't bear the scene in front of them, when the whistle blew at the end of the game
At that moment, the stands of the Dream Theater were nearly half empty.
Aldridge clenched his fists and waved firmly, then suppressed his excitement for a while, turned and walked towards Ferguson. The two shook hands briefly, and left without saying a word. Obviously Ferguson was not interested in inviting Aldridge today.
Qi went to have a drink, but he couldn't wait to go back to the dressing room and turn on the hair dryer.
Aldridge turned around, shook hands and hugged each coach with an excited smile on his face, and then walked into the court and hugged and communicated with each player.
Manchester United played extremely poorly today. Their players walked into the tunnel as fast as running away. After celebrating for a while, Millwall's players collectively walked to the visiting team's stands. The players took off their jerseys and threw them into the stands.
Then he raised his head and applauded the fans.
The players left the game and returned to the locker room to rest and prepare to go home, while Aldridge went directly to the post-game interview.
The BBC reporter got straight to the point and asked: "According to Millwall's current momentum, the league championship should already be yours, right?"
Aldridge looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Of course it's impossible. The league has only gone through 12 rounds and there is still a long way to go. Although we are 12 points ahead of the defending champion, as long as we lose three games and Manchester United win three, plus
We will play against each other again in the second half of the league, and the current advantage may be reversed.
Walwall is still far from the championship. I have always emphasized that we only focus on the next game, but play the goal of every game. Of course, it is for the improvement of the players and the championship. If my players can be like today in every game
If we perform well, then we have no reason to give the championship trophy to other teams."
"Do you think it is possible for Manchester United to defend the title? They have lost three consecutive games in the top league and conceded 17 goals. This may be the darkest moment in Manchester United's history."
Aldridge shook his head and said seriously: "This statement is unfair and illogical. Was Manchester United better when they were relegated than now? They are still playing in the Champions League, they just encountered some troubles. Their players
Young, Ferguson has transferred many youth training players from the youth team this season to give them opportunities to improve
Growth requires a certain price. I firmly believe that Manchester United's predicament is temporary. Ferguson does not need to prove anything. He just has the ability to bring Manchester United back from the abyss to the top when everyone doubts him. Therefore, Millwall must be vigilant.
, it would be an irreparable mistake if we thought Manchester United was out!"
"Comment on the players' performance. Who do you think is the best player in this game?"
"Wow. This is a difficult problem. All my players performed well, the forwards scored goals, and the midfielders also contributed a lot. If I have to name a name, I think it is Makelele. Manchester United has been offensive for a while.
Very fierce. But Makelele used top performance to make Manchester United's offense unable to move in the frontcourt, and also played a huge role when Pirlo was restricted. I think in the defensive midfielder position, Makelele is already the number one star in the Premier League. Maybe you
It would be said that Keane is both offensive and defensive, but I think in the midfielder position, let’s not discuss the offense first. When it comes to defense, no one can do it better than Makelele. He will definitely become a world-class player in the future.
player, but he still needs more games. I firmly believe that Millwall will give him and other outstanding players the highest stage to improve. I also hope that the French national team can give him some opportunities so that he can gain valuable experience in international competitions.
"
...
After the interview, the players had showered and changed in the locker room. Some were singing, some were twerking and dancing, and some were sitting together talking and laughing. Everyone was so excited that when they boarded the return bus, they still couldn't help but win.
of excitement.
Aldrich did not go back with the group because he received a text message from Melanie.
Outside Old Trafford, Melanie was driving a brand new Bentley, and Aldrich opened the door and got in.
Dressed casually, she came up and kissed him on the face, smiling and saying: "Well done! Haha, today is the end of Manchester United!"
Aldridge couldn't laugh or cry: "When Millwall won at Anfield, you said it was the end of me, and today it's the end of Manchester United. Did you come to watch the game today?"
"Well, here we go, let's go to Liverpool for dinner."
Aldridge didn't ask any questions. On the way to Liverpool, the two of them chatted about the game casually.
Melanie thinks Aldridge should have some wild celebrations at Old Trafford like last year to humiliate Manchester United.
Aldrich laughed and didn't answer.
Many times, celebrations are an expression of emotion from the inside out, rather than a deliberately staged performance.
Last year, he almost won at Old Trafford. Nedved's goal before the end made him excited. Although he fell short in the end and was equalized by Manchester United, it was indeed the most exciting moment since he coached.
It's different today. One of Millwall and Manchester United is in a hot state, and the other is in a bad state. In addition, various unfavorable factors on Manchester United's side are superimposed. After Millwall scored two goals, Aldridge knew that he had a chance to win.
, excited? Excited, but not enough to make him "crazy".
It was already dark when we drove to Liverpool. Melanie drove to a high-end restaurant in the city, and Aldrich walked in hand in hand with her.
I originally thought it was a dinner for two, but when choosing seats, the two of them sat side by side at a square table for four.
Aldrich looked at the empty seat opposite and wondered: "Who else is coming?"
"Victoria, she went to watch the game with me today. She was a little delayed. We will order food later."
Aldrich didn't take it to heart. He was not familiar with this place, but when he entered, he accidentally saw some suspicious figures across the street. According to his experience, they should be paparazzi, probably here to capture news.
His relationship with Melanie had been exposed last year, and there was nothing to hype about it. He pretended to ignore it.
Victoria didn't come for a long time, so Melanie called her several times. The other person just apologized and said she would be late because of something else.
Aldrich, who was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, was almost lying on the dining table.
"Mad cow disease has made me not eat beef for a long time. I have switched to seafood in the past six months, and I am a little tired of it."
Aldrich complained rather helplessly.
This year, there was mad cow disease in the UK, and the Prime Minister ordered the slaughter of cattle, leaving him without a regular dish on the table.
Melanie fiddled with his palms and became a little impatient. She looked at the time and sighed: "I originally planned to have dinner and watch a movie."
"What movie?"
"Mr. Sweetheart, you don't like the kind of movies you watch."
"Hey. I like this one, the handsome guy Tom Cruise."
"Huh? Have you seen the newly released movie?"
"No, I've read the introduction. Let's go see it together another day."
While the two were chatting, Victoria finally arrived late.
Since their seats faced the door, when Victoria and another person walked over holding hands, Aldrich and Melanie saw them at a glance.
Aldrich's originally relaxed expression became a little stiff, and then returned to normal with a smile on his face.
However, his hand took out his mobile phone from the outer pocket of his suit, blocked it with the table, looked down slightly, then quickly pressed the keys with his fingers, and sent a text message to Andrew: Call me!!!
Melanie saw his action. He cast a puzzled look at him. Aldrich lightly blinked his left eye at her, but Melanie understood and remained silent.
"Hi, Aldrich."
Victoria walked to the table and said hello generously and then sat down. The young man who came with her was also a handsome young man. Seeing Aldrich here, his face was obviously a little embarrassed. But he could only hold out his hand to Aldrich.
, said: "Good evening, Mr. Hall."
"Hi, David."
Aldrich stood up and shook hands with the other party, and then the four of them took their seats.
The man sitting opposite Aldridge is Manchester United player Beckham.
The two have not communicated since the unpleasant incident last spring. Today is the first time they have met in a non-work setting. They have met in the past at dinners organized by various organizations in the English football circle, but they always greeted each other in a formulaic manner.
.
Melanie and Victoria started discussing dinner and were in a good mood.
Seeing Beckham sitting on pins and needles, Aldridge smiled and asked: "What did Sir Alex Ferguson say to you after the game?"
Even though Ferguson has not yet been knighted at this time, some Manchester United fans have begun to call him Sir Alex.
Beckham was obviously a little nervous and immature, so he opened his mouth and told Aldrich everything that happened after the game.
Sure enough, Ferguson turned on the hairdryer in the locker room. No one was spared, and everyone was scolded bloody.
Finally, I made a summary: You have been thrown away by ten blocks from the Millwall players! In terms of running enthusiasm alone, they are a hundred times better than you! Are you tired? If you put all your energy on football
, you won’t be as tired as a dog!
Not to mention the tactical fissure caused by Millwall in English football, at least Ferguson has realized that his players are completely behind Millwall in terms of physical fitness. This also made Ferguson start to explore Millwall's physical training mechanism. More intuitively,
, this disastrous defeat inspired Ferguson, who had a better idea of how to use Scholes. The midfield configuration of Keane and Butt was about to come to an end.
In a sense, the sudden emergence of Millwall led by Aldridge is accelerating the transformation of the Premier League. From players to technical and tactical aspects, they will become a new template. Although it is impossible to copy, it is best to learn from the strong.
Nothing but normal things.
After Xiaobei said everything, he regretted it.
Is it okay to talk about what happened in the locker room casually?
And he told the rival head coach!
Although he lost today, he was so excited that he forgot about everything because he suddenly gained favor from the goddess.
"Mr. Hall, please don't put these words, uh..."
"Hehehe, I understand, David, Sir Alex Ferguson is right to say that players should focus all their energy on football."
Aldridge's words stopped short. After all, the opponent was a Manchester United player and he was not qualified to preach to the opponent.
At this moment, Aldrich's phone rang. He apologized to the three of them, then got up and went to a secluded place to answer the phone.
"What do you want from me?"
"It's okay. I'm just asking you to help me out. I'm being tricked."
"who?"
"woman."
"Is another Page 3 girl stalking you?"
"No, he's Melanie's friend."
"Oh, you are so beautiful."
"It's not what you think, thank you."
"Wait a minute, I have something to do with you. Please come to my company another day when you are free."
"Yes, I took note of it."
After hanging up the phone, Aldrich walked back to the dining table and said to the three of them with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, my agent called me and something urgent came up. I have to rush back to London immediately to deal with it."
Melanie still had no reaction, but Victoria frowned and said: "Is there any business at eight o'clock in the evening?"
Aldridge said helplessly: "We were negotiating a transfer. Everything was settled, but suddenly other clubs intervened. Now we have to go back and renegotiate the negotiation conditions. He is a very important player, so now every second counts.
, David should be able to understand this kind of thing."
Beckham nodded seriously, the transfer market is changing rapidly.
Not to mention how many outstanding young players Manchester United have intercepted. This summer, everyone was waiting for Shearer to come. When everything was agreed and just about to sign, Keegan of Malle Gobi came out halfway to play the family card with Shearer.
Let Manchester United pass by this top striker.
"Then I'll see you off, Victoria, and I won't disturb your world."
Melanie smiled and waved goodbye to Victoria, who was forcing a smile, and then walked out of the restaurant with Aldrich. When the two turned around, Victoria's face immediately became a little ugly.
