Millwall won the Premier League championship five games ahead of schedule. East London fell into a carnival. Millwall fans gathered in the streets and alleys, and they were running to celebrate. When the night fell, the sky in East London was filled with
Covered by brilliant fireworks.
The fans in the bar could not restrain their excitement, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, even if the midnight drinking ban in the UK has not yet been lifted.
Millwall's players also held a party, with the players and their families attending in the evening to celebrate the excellent results achieved this season.
Calculating carefully, they not only created a record of 18 consecutive victories in the league, but also created a record of 31 unbeaten games.
There is a dim light on in the Millwall manager's office.
Aldridge did not go to the locker room after the interview because the players were celebrating outside. He went straight back to the office and continued to study PSG information. He just wanted to let the work paralyze him.
Don't think about Richards' fate, don't think about Stam's transfer...
Two things hit him hard.
"Aldrich, come out and watch the fireworks with me! Haha, Brady sent me a text message. They are holding a field party in the eastern suburbs and are setting off fireworks!"
Yi Wen excitedly opened the door to the office, only to see Aldrich with a slightly numb expression, facing the TV, holding the remote control in his left hand and a pen in his right hand. There was a tactical notebook on the desk, which was densely packed with information.
Like a ghost painting.
Yiwen's excited expression gradually disappeared. She closed the door gently, walked behind Aldrich, and put her hands on his shoulders. The picture on the TV was already covered in snowflakes. But Aldrich just stared at the TV,
Gritting his teeth, his eyes were full of unwillingness.
"what happened?"
"Manchester United wants Stam, and Stam has decided to leave in the summer."
"Are you sad?"
"No, I'm not willing to give in! F-uck! In what way am I inferior to Ferguson? In what aspect is Millwall inferior to Manchester United this year? F-uck! One after another, Thuram Pires, and now St.
Tam, F-uck! In their eyes, Millwall is not worthy of them! F-uck! F-uck! F-uck!”
Bang.
Aldrich threw the pen in his hand against the opposite wall, then held his head in his hands and closed his eyes. Yiwen could not see his ferocious expression. It was full of resentment!
He paid!
He really gave everything he could!
While others at his age were having a love-hate relationship with women, he devoted all his time to the team and would only leave when he needed a break. He devoted all his efforts to the team.
The team is invincible in the Premier League this season, and the club has also shown great ambitions. The new stadium is under construction. Within five years, Millwall will become the most dazzling team in London, and even the most watched team in England.
But there are still people who want to leave, and there are still people who abandon him without any regrets!
Aldridge wanted to question Stam face to face: What can you get from going to Manchester United? In addition to money, Millwall can give you everything else!
Unlike Solskjaer, Vieira, and even Phillips, who has proposed a transfer this season, Aldridge feels indebted to them. After all, they have the strength, but there is no place in Millwall. Aldridge does not want to delay them.
career, I send them off with blessings.
Even when Thuram left last year, Aldridge had no emotion at all, because Serie A and the Premier League are not comparable. It's not that Serie A is a few steps behind the Premier League, but it is two different leagues. Serie A is stronger.
Undisputed.
But Arsenal, Manchester United and Millwall are in the same league, and they are very intuitively comparable. When Pires left, Aldridge felt that the other parties lacked respect for the club. Stam's departure made Aldridge feel
Humiliated.
Not just him, but also Millwall.
So what if you win the championship five rounds early?
As soon as Manchester United extended an olive branch, the main players immediately prepared to pack their bags and take a plane to Manchester. Invisibly, it seemed to tell the whole world: Millwall is still a little loser even if it has a championship. Even if a big club like Manchester United does not have a championship, it is still a dream for top players.
stage.
If the person next to him was not Yiwen, Aldrich would not be so gloomy.
Yiwen bent down and held Aldrich's face, puffed out his cheeks and said angrily: "Aldrich, someone bullies us, what should we do?"
After a brief moment of venting his emotions, Aldrich had regained his senses. Seeing the angry expression on Yiwen's pretty face in front of him, he showed a smile and said slowly: "Whoever bullies us, we will send him to hell!"
Yiwen raised his fist and glared: "Then, you let Manchester United go to hell! Let those ungrateful players regret it for the rest of their lives! Their leaving Millwall is not Millwall's loss, it is the biggest mistake of their lives.
!Aldrich, you can do it, I believe in you, because you are the most cunning."
At the end of the sentence, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a touching smile.
Aldrich looked up at the ceiling, closed his eyes and laughed.
"Why does it sound like you are hurting me?"
"No, this is the best compliment for you!"
Yiwen stood up, pulled Aldrich up from the seat, adjusted his suit, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a bad mood, let's go and have a drink."
Aldrich adjusted his mood, tidied up his desk, and finally left the club with Ivan and drove to the eastern suburbs of London. Brady held a barbecue party for over a hundred people in the suburbs. Aldrich's arrival made the atmosphere suddenly soar.
, every Roar member had to take a photo with Aldridge, everyone sang and danced, set off fireworks, and imagined a more glorious future for Millwall.
...
The war in Europe has reignited. Millwall won the championship early and completely withdrawn from the league. The remaining key battles are the domestic FA Cup semi-finals and the two-leg European war against Paris Saint-Germain. After these three games, if everything goes well
If you pass, then all that’s left is the finals in May!
In the first leg of the European Cup Winners' Cup semi-finals, Millwall played away first and arrived in the French capital one day earlier than expected. On Tuesday evening, a total of 44 players from Millwall's first team and youth team plus the coaching staff and entourage
The staff parachuted into Paris in great force.
The youth team's trip to Norway last month had a low start and a high start. The first game was bloodbathed by the Bran youth team, and the following two friendly matches were hearty. So during the confrontation with Paris Saint-Germain, Aldrich also contacted the French club.
The friendly matches of the youth team allow the boys in the team to have more opportunities to practice. They also come to see the world.
Compared with last month's European war trip, time was tight. This time in Paris, Aldrich led the team to arrive a day early. After getting off the plane, he asked the team leader to take all the luggage to the hotel, while he took the players on the streets of Paris.
Wandering around, he had been here before. He still had some impressions of this dream city, so they didn't need a guide.
They had dinner together in a high-end restaurant that Aldrich remembered very well. In the evening, they visited scenic spots. The players also bought some souvenirs for their families or friends. The boys of the youth team were even more excited. They took photos along the way.
.
After strolling around for a night to relax the players, the players returned to the hotel and had a good rest. They could rest for most of the next day, get familiar with the venue in the afternoon, and then spend another day doing simple training to warm up, and then compete in the evening.
The day before the game, Aldrich led the team to adapt to the venue at the Parc des Princes. At the same time, he attended the official press conference held by Paris.
Because he understands French, he did not encounter any difficulty in communicating at the press conference. This is a positive image for him personally. Players from different language countries have no difficulty in communicating directly with him, and they have no difficulty in facing reporters.
Will be left out. From a publicity perspective, Aldridge is the type of person the media likes.
"Millwall won the Premier League five games ahead of schedule. At the same time, it created a record of 31 unbeaten games. Next, you will focus on the European war, right? Do you think Millwall is strong enough to win the trophy?"
Facing French reporters, Aldrich responded in a low-key manner: "The game is played one by one. It is only the semi-finals now. It seems that we are very close to the championship trophy, but maybe it will be a different situation after 90 minutes."
,Especially, we are facing the defending champion, they have excellent coaches and players, and are the favorites to win the championship because they are more experienced than us."
"I heard that you and coach Fernandez know each other. In a previous interview, he spoke highly of you and believed that you single-handedly built Millwall into the top team in the Premier League. He warned the Paris Saint-Germain players that if they look down on you,
, then they will bid farewell to the finals. Do you think this is a kind of psychological warfare on his part?"
Aldrich said: "Yes, we know each other. I admire coach Fernandez very much. He is just doing his job. His team is very strong, so he must avoid the team's mentality of underestimating the enemy. If I were to replace him, it would be him."
, I will do the same."
"Compared with him, who do you think is better? We have seen that many British media use words such as tactical seeker or skywalker when evaluating you, thinking that you will always be there when arranging troops.
There are ways to help the team win, at least in this regard, who is better, you or Fernandez? You must have understood Paris Saint-Germain's tactics, right?"
Faced with this harsh question, Aldrich smiled bitterly in his heart, and the world was as black as crows, reporters, reporters.
"I won't judge my colleagues. This is a sign of respect. A good head coach should know how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and make the best use of the situation. If we just compare what one coach did and what other coaches didn't do, it's simply ridiculous.
Ignorant and superficial. I look forward to tomorrow’s game, but my appreciation and respect for Fernandez will not change due to tomorrow’s result.”
...
After dealing with reporters, when night fell, Aldridge stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel suite. From his position, he could vaguely see the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris.
In this era, Paris Saint-Germain is an important part of the French football map, and even the European football map.
Three years ago, Paris Saint-Germain ranked first in the world in the International Federation of Football History and Statistics rankings!
Two years ago, Paris Saint-Germain set a record for French Ligue 1 teams to win the Champions League group stage.
In recent years, it has been ranked among the top three in the European War points rankings, and has had the glory of being at the top of the list.
Last year, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Bayern Munich to become the best team of the year selected by UEFA! At the same time, it became the first and only European Cup Winners' Cup champion in the history of Ligue 1!
Beginning in 1991, the investment and later full ownership of CANAL+, a giant in the television industry, ushered in the capital era for Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain's financial budget has always ranked among the top three in Ligue 1. However, this year in history,
This should be the beginning of the decline of Paris Saint-Germain, and it was not until almost fifteen years later that it re-emerged in France.
Aldridge looked at the Parc des Princes at night, feeling envious from the bottom of his heart.
Not this stadium, but PSG's natural environment.
Paris Saint-Germain is the only major football club in Europe with a population of tens of millions of people. Who is their mortal enemy? There is no city rival with a matching status, but Marseille.
It is hard to imagine that this big team in this magical city would no longer become the focus of Europe, even France, due to internal strife in the next fifteen years.
