In the first round of the new league season's East London derby, Millwall won with a narrow goal.
Security was the focus after the game. Although there were conflicts between fans outside the stadium, the scale was hardly comparable to last year.
West Ham United was severely criticized by the media. The Sun used a picture to describe the game.
The content of the picture is that in a boxing ring, a powerful and tall man wearing a Millwall jersey mercilessly beat his opponent in front of him, who could only hold his head and huddle in the corner of the ring, and the opponent was naturally wearing a West Ham jersey.
United jersey.
When December ended, Millwall had played the first 20 rounds of the Premier League and achieved an impressive record of 18 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, which was even more shocking than Newcastle United, which went crazy in the first half of last season.
And they are creating new history every day. The league winning streak, the away winning streak, and the home winning streak have not been broken yet, but with their momentum, it should be no problem, especially at the Lion's Den Stadium.
Although Aldridge's two-year home unbeaten streak was broken at the beginning of this season, no one would doubt that the Lion's Den is now the Devil's home stadium.
After 20 games, Millwall has 55 points, 18 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.
"The Times" lamented: The suspense of the Premier League championship has disappeared. Millwall, who has won the half-time championship, can be crowned the Premier League champion in advance. The only suspense left in the Premier League is which team will be relegated. Which team will compete for the third place?
Two Champions League tickets. It seems that four teams including Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Arsenal have a chance, and Hall and his team can leisurely watch them fight with a glass of wine.
UEFA was forced by the European giants to pursue the interests of the European war. There were rumors that the major European giants were plotting to establish a new top European league to ensure maximum profits. Against this background, UEFA made concessions. It began.
The Champions League is further reformed. From next season, not only the league champions of each country can enter the Champions League, but based on the European war points, the league runners-up are also eligible to participate in this championship feast.
Spurred by the interests of the European war and the mature broadcasting mechanism, the "arms race" among the major European clubs has intensified since last summer and has been out of control ever since.
Manchester United and Barcelona bid for Ronaldo at the same time in the summer, both bidding 20 million US dollars. As a result, Ronaldo chose Barcelona. In the winter, it was rumored that Manchester United made an offer for Barcelona, which was still 20 million US dollars. However, the currency was changed to pounds. At the same time, Inter Milan,
Serie A clubs such as Lazio have also launched a pursuit of aliens.
Sometimes the battle in the transfer market is full of drama. If Manchester United could be ruthless six months ago and beat Barcelona in terms of personal treatment to lure away Ronaldo, the final result is really hard to say.
The previous pursuit of Larsson and Trezeguet had the same problem. It has to be said that in this era, although major clubs have invested heavily in the transfer market, it is really painful to spend the money, and there are too many factors to consider, such as football
Team salary system, player team status, etc.
Aldridge guessed that it was precisely because Ferguson repeatedly hit the wall during this period that Manchester United spent heavily on signings in the next few years, almost using a huge gamble to introduce players, although some players bought at sky-high prices stayed permanently.
Manchester United's parallel import list has a history, but most of the signings are still worthy of praise and have an indispensable significance for Manchester United.
Many clubs are imitating this kind of gambling method because of their greed for profit. Some have succeeded, and some have directly caused the team to be deeply in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy...
The winter at Millwall has been a bit lively, with all the major European clubs asking about the transfer price of the core members of the team.
The most pursued are Nedvěd, Larsson, and Trezeguet. Others such as Schneider, Stam, and Makelele are also full of seducers. Even the main substitute Ballack has been with the German football team.
The team got in touch, and many Bundesliga teams wanted to bring him back, but some of the offers really made Aldridge feel insulted.
Bayern Munich made an offer worth tens of millions of marks, which is equivalent to less than 1.5 million pounds. Aldridge didn't even bother to reply, not to mention the training fee, the salary bonus and other things he invested in Ballack.
The material cost exceeded one million pounds. Moreover, although Ballack's creativity is not as amazing as Pirlo's, he is comparable in terms of comprehensive ability. Pirlo is still young. In the tactical changes, Ballack's role is very obvious.
There was no way Aldrich was letting go.
In the new year, the cold streets of East London are relatively quiet, but the temperature in the bars has not dropped. Aldridge has become a hero in East London, and people of all ages will treat him with kindness and admiration.
In the bar, he didn't have to pay a penny, and Sander didn't have to pay. Fans who saw Aldrich in the bar would buy him a drink.
Playing pool and taking a puff of cigarettes, Aldrich and Ivan stood together watching Brady play, and the two chatted casually.
"You seem to be graduating this year."
"Yeah, I'm looking for a job recently."
"Well, are you having any difficulties?"
"It's not difficult. I have been invited by several companies because I majored in IT and are in need of such talents now. However, some companies are too far away and some companies have working hours that I am not satisfied with."
"Oh, you have no work experience, and you have no personal connections. You are quite picky. If you are asked to apply for a job, you are considered a strange flower."
Yiwen glared at him with beautiful eyes and curled her lips: "I'm worried that I won't have time to watch the game."
"Watching football games is more important than work?"
Aldrich felt that this child had a tendency to neglect his job.
Yiwen raised his head as if in deep thought, frowned and said, "Yes, I have to thank you for that."
"What does it have to do with me?"
"You forgot, when we invest in your brother's place, you still give us the capital. Anyway, we don't spend a lot of money. We can survive without working."
When Aldrich heard this, he turned to stare at her, his expression slightly dull.
Seeing him like this, Yiwen bumped his ribs with his elbow. Aldrich took a step back, rubbed his ribs and smiled bitterly: "I feel very guilty."
Yiwen smiled and asked: "Why?"
"Because of my good intentions, I may turn all my friends into useless waste."
Yi Wen pushed him hard and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "You are a waste, huh, wait, you will be surprised."
Aldrich didn't think about what she meant by surprise. He picked up the beer and took a sip, then moved closer to Yiwen and asked in a low voice: "Where are they?"
To be honest, although Aldrich has known them for more than ten years, some topics are a bit taboo for him.
To put it bluntly, he was worried that his family background and career achievements would create a sense of distance between them.
Of course Yiwen knew what Aldrich was asking, and said calmly: "They built a football-themed website."
Aldrich thought for a moment and then asked: "Where did they get the money? It would cost a lot to build a website and hire people."
"Their employees are classmates I introduced, and their wages are not high. They are rich. Not only him, but many people here buy you drinks. Half of them are thanking you for making them money."
Aldrich looked confused.
Yiwen liked to see his expression the most, and couldn't help but laugh out loud several times.
Because in her heart, Aldrich, who had been mature and steady since he was a child, seemed to be confident in everything, and there were not many opportunities for him to show such a confused look.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, it's very simple. When Millwall wins, they win money. No one is a professional gambler. They are happy to win a meal. In the past year, people here have made a lot of money. Before the new season,
Many people have bought Millwall to win the Premier League championship, and they will collect the money in a few months, so why buy you a bottle of wine?"
Aldrich's expression became very exciting. He lowered his head and looked at the beer in his hand, and the taste seemed to have completely changed.
I thought he was getting free beer because of the support, but many people thanked him for turning Millwall into a cash cow.
Of course, this is just a joke in a relaxed state of mind. In London, there are gambling companies and betting stations in the streets and alleys. People's mentality towards gambling is relatively rational. They usually have some change left over when they go shopping for food, and pass by the betting stations to support them.
Ordinary people would not treat their favorite sports teams as entertainment as a shortcut to getting rich.
The Hall family started out by gambling, and their mentality is naturally very peaceful. However, at the current level of wealth of his family, they stay away from gambling. Once they enter the game, more funds will be involved. The operating model behind the scenes of this industry, Aldrich is also responsible for it.
He doesn’t understand, but he understands that gambling companies and other industries
They all have invisible hands. Secondly, his identity also allows him to avoid direct financial contact with bookmakers. Sponsorship fees are another matter, but if he uses his own money to place bets with bookmakers, it will inevitably have other effects.
, although regulations prohibiting industry personnel from getting involved in the gambling circle have not yet been introduced.
"Well, a football-themed website is very good. In the future, it will develop into a portal website and become a football media."
Aldrich sighed from the bottom of his heart.
There is gold everywhere at this time, it depends on whether you can seize the opportunity.
Do your best and become rich is no problem.
Yiwen smiled playfully, stared at Aldrich's beer bottle and said, "Did you just want to throw away the bottle?"
Aldrich scoffed and said: "The heart of a villain."
"Hehehe, this means you admitted it."
The slim girl had a beautiful smile. A drunken guest passed by behind her and accidentally bumped into her. Yiwen fell forward, and Aldrich immediately put his arms around her waist to stabilize her body.
The passing guests, drunken and dazed, did not look back and continued towards the restroom.
Aldrich glanced at the man and then withdrew his gaze. Suddenly he found himself holding a warm nephrite jade in his arms, and the intoxicating fragrance of Yiwen penetrated into his nostrils.
"Wow, wow, if you care about my girl, it doesn't matter if you are white or black."
This scene happened to be seen by Brady and Fred, and the two best friends sang and cheered in unison.
Aldrich quickly let go of his hand, then turned around and smiled at Brady and cursed: "When will you be more f---ing mature?"
Yiwen looked at Aldrich who was playing pool with Fred, and for some reason his heartbeat couldn't stop.
...
Immediately after the New Year, Aldridge's team suffered a draw, and the winning streak was fixed at 18 games.
Because Aldridge plans to compete for two other cup championships in the second half of the season, the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup.
If the lead of nearly 20 points is going to be reversed, Aldridge has nothing to say.
This year's team has a stronger lineup, and many substitutes are performing better and better on the court, but there is still huge room for improvement. Based on the soul of a successful tactical system, even if they are not amazingly talented, they can still ensure
Achievements will not fall flat.
There are only two players that give Aldridge a headache. Two forwards, Phillips and Toney, both have the idea of leaving the team. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
