The feud between Arthur and Bates is well known among Premier League club presidents, and Arthur and Arsenal vice-chairman Dane are not dealing with each other either. On Arthur's list of hatreds, Edwards ranks third, but he
There are some old perverts who look down on Manchester United because as long as they roll up their sleeves, the opponent will immediately turn into a coward.
Since Millwall was promoted to the Premier League last year, Manchester United and Arsenal have found various reasons to exclude Millwall. In addition to the small stadium and poor reputation, the most important reason is that Millwall has obtained the power through family power.
With more broadcasting shares, Millwall is not only challenging the traditional force of the old Premier League structure in terms of competition, but also in terms of intuitive economic interests, infringing on the majority of the shares that belong to them.
But Millwall spent two seasons shutting up Manchester United and Arsenal, which in turn led to Arthur's cynicism towards Dane: When will Highbury be expanded? Oh, it seems that it is surrounded by residential buildings, and there are no more
Have you expanded the space?
It was just a lazy attitude toward Edwards. As long as the other party didn't provoke him, Arthur didn't want to have anything to do with the old pervert, as if the other person's semen covered him from head to toe made him feel sick.
As for Bates, apart from the fact that they are mortal enemies, the most important thing is that Arthur can't stand Bates' arrogant attitude. Even though Chelsea has nothing, he actually thinks that he takes the most credit.
Bates is a speculative businessman who was notorious before he became the chairman of the club. In the European financial circle, he has made several successful investments, involving amounts ranging from millions to tens of millions of pounds. Simply put, he has a dirty butt.
.
Football is a very closed circle, and the FA's independence means that no matter how fierce the internal battles are, any external force that wants to intervene in football will be strongly rejected by them, regardless of right or wrong.
Bates has been able to put the past behind him as chairman of a Premier League club. His high debts in running Chelsea have also caused controversy, but it is difficult for outsiders to investigate his club operations. Not only does the Football Association
Exclusion, the Premier League will also oppose the investigation. Because there are a bunch of dirty, dark and shady transactions behind every club.
Bates, a shrewd and cunning businessman, not only built the magnificent Chelsea Village of his dreams, but also took the initiative to start a war in order to increase his popularity. Before his tit-for-tat confrontation with Arthur, his opponent was Dane, but Arsenal has been
The current situation was not good, so he turned his gun and aimed at Millwall. Anyway, the original hatred between the two clubs was enough to cause a topic.
Arthur sat next to Bates, enjoying a glass of wine and waiting for the game to start, while Bates had a gloomy face and said nothing.
"Old bastard, I heard that you recently publicly questioned the source of the Hall family's assets? Hahaha, I heard a joke about a thief shouting "Catch the thief."
Arthur's tone was tepid while holding the wine glass, and his expression was slightly feminine, making him appear strange and unpredictable.
Bates's heart skipped a beat. He was unscrupulous. When he attacked Dane, he would hire a private detective to investigate him. When it was his turn to open fire with Arthur, he did the same thing.
He made remarks to the media, questioning whether the Hall family's financial resources could afford the financial expenditure of the magnificent new stadium. He also hinted that the Hall family had transformed from a glass seller to a billionaire in ten years.
What’s the trick?
Arthur looked straight at it and continued calmly: "Business matters. Bates, I'm not as good as you, and I don't care about it. It's all my three sons who are taking care of it. But if you want to use this method, we will
It's just fun, I'm also curious about Chelsea's financial situation. Where do they get so much money to buy players and give
With high wages, your Chelsea village has very few people available all day long. Is it really profitable? Hahaha, I asked my eldest son, and he told me that in the European business circle, our Hall family still has many friends.
I think we can find out a lot of inside information. Do you really want to play? Do you dare to play? Can you afford it?"
Cold sweat broke out on Bates's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding!"
It was probably at this time that he remembered that what he had been playing in the past was just a capital game with millions of pounds, and the Hall family had assets of more than 200 million pounds three years ago, and in these three years
, wealth growth is still a jaw-dropping rate.
Based on the connections within the circle, the Hall family's reputation is well-known, and he is not much different from a street rat.
Arthur took a sip of wine and laughed: "Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding, just misunderstand. Alas, without you, I might feel lonely."
He said it like a joke, but he had another thought in his mind: If Bates continues like this, Chelsea's debts will get higher and higher, there will be no record, and they will go bankrupt...
In the visiting team's locker room at Wembley Stadium, Aldridge stood in front of the players with his arms crossed.
"Everyone knows that today is our last game of the season. I believe you will take this game 300% seriously. However, I want to talk about two points. The first point is the mentality. This season we are
The double defeat of Chelsea in the league may make you underestimate the enemy. Now I give you a minute to ask yourself, have you ever thought in your mind: Chelsea? We are defeated, and victory will be within reach!"
The players looked at each other, looking at Aldrich's stern face, and some players lowered their heads in shame.
Many people do think so.
England's three traditional giants were beaten twice by them, and they had just defeated La Liga giant Barcelona in the European Cup Winners' Cup. Ask 10,000 neutral fans the same question: Who is better, Chelsea or Barcelona? More than 9,000 of them will say: Barcelona
, the remaining fans will ask: Who is Chelsea?
The answer is obvious. According to this reasoning, Millwall beat Barcelona 4:1, so beating Chelsea is not like cutting melons and vegetables?
There was no trace of relaxation on Aldridge's face. He knew that today's game had many unfavorable factors for Millwall, including the uneven cheering of the fans in the stands and competitive factors including the fact that the players had just returned from the Netherlands.
Just like Barcelona, the body will be tired, and after a big battle, especially after winning, the mentality will be a little high.
"I'll give you two more minutes to forget the double win over Chelsea in your mind, and think back to the two league games we lost this season, the cup game, and the seven unwinnable draws! Think carefully about these games,
Think about it, are those opponents stronger than us? Why didn't we win?"
The players now understood Aldridge's intention and became serious in spirit. Their faces were serious and they put away all their contempt.
Aldridge continued: "You have basically experienced the game last season when we won two cup trophies. Do you remember our mentality at that time? We almost let Aston Villa take away the trophy because of our mentality.
We were even more anxious, and our eagerness to win the cup affected our performance. Today, Chelsea is the same. Their last trophy was 26 years ago.
The European Cup Winners' Cup and the FA Cup were 27 years ago. Therefore, during the nearly thirty-year trophy blank period, they were extremely hungry and eager. Not only did they want to prove that they were better than us, but they also wanted to prove that they were better than us.
It will become the starting point for the club to achieve glory, but we will not give them a chance! This is the second point I want to talk about: our posture!"
The players stared up at Aldrich and nodded seriously.
It's also the finals, but Aldridge won't talk about honor and spirit with the players as usual.
Clichés sometimes don't make sense. And neither do they have the same effect.
Millwall is the defending champion of the FA Cup. The players have won this honor and have already won two trophies this season. In addition, the match record has an advantage over Chelsea. If Aldrich just uses language to boost the morale of the players,
, it is estimated that it will not have much effect.
Like his tactical arrangements, he will patiently let the players understand why he is playing like this and what the effect of the tactics will be. Only when the players understand it themselves can they better implement the tactical concepts.
"We are more tired than Chelsea. There is no doubt about it. We don't need to lie to ourselves. We just played a fierce game two days ago. Your performance is unparalleled. If you want to replicate the performance of two days ago today. I think at least from running
It's impossible to move. Don't think that this is me trying to hit you or stimulate you. No, I'm just saying
Facts. I don’t want you to put pressure on yourself or force yourself, otherwise you may get injured. There are countless teams around the world that can play offense. Our tactical system is very mature, and you are also very comfortable with our offensive routines. However, I
I hope to see a mature side of your mentality and a more mature side of the entire team!"
Hearing what Aldrich said, everyone was curious. Nedved asked: "Boss, what should we do?"
Being more mature means they become better, and no one wants to make themselves better.
Aldrich said lightly: "A team that can attack is not scary. What is scary is that a team that can attack at will knows how to be patient. What I mean is that we have to control it from the overall situation and the entire game.
Competition, rather than pursuit of periodicity
Explosion, this is dominance! When we have sufficient physical strength, we can press our opponents throughout the game, but what about when we do not have the physical advantage? We also want to win, and winning will make our opponents despair. With the tactical arrangements this morning, you may
Many people think I am too young
I'm cautious, I don't think so. I think it's time for you to understand what a truly top team is. We can't just rely on momentum to win, but rely on explosive power to win. What is a truly top team?
When you are in good condition, you can win beautiful, state-like things.
When we are in a bad state, we can still win even if the game is not good to watch! This is the real strong person, the strong person who makes all opponents fearful and desperate. Even if we are clearly at a disadvantage, we still leave the opponent with nothing to do but
Watch as we take away the strong men who win!"
In the locker room, all the players were shocked.
Looking at Aldrich with a determined expression, they felt incredible. While feeling shocked, they also felt a strange feeling in their hearts.
If you are in good condition, you will win well; if you are in bad condition, you will also win.
Who wouldn’t want to be such a strong person?
There is no need for everyone to deceive themselves into thinking that players will be at their best in every game. Players' status fluctuates, either due to their health or their worries. Anyway, there are countless reasons for poor status.
But if they can win even when their physical condition is not at its best, it will obviously make them more mature and more dominant on the court.
"Today, you are going to play such a dominant game, and I firmly believe you can do it."
After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned and left the locker room.
