The night before he was about to leave for Switzerland, Aldrich spent peacefully with Melanie at home.
The sudden news of Princess Diana's unexpected death shocked the entire UK because people lost a national idol.
Especially girls like Melanie, who was born in Liverpool, are very fond of Princess Diana who dared to break away from the shackles of the royal family. It is no exaggeration to say that when their generation was growing up, there were not many public figures that they could admire.
, and Princess Diana, who has a positive image and is passionate about charity, is an embodiment of people's good wishes.
Even though Melanie couldn't cry at the top of her lungs, she was obviously depressed and depressed.
Once she is unhappy, she cannot control her appetite.
Aldrich pulled her up from sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a pile of snacks.
"What? I don't want to move."
"It's nothing, let's vent. Overeating like this is not only harmful to your health, but sometimes you are unhappy, so you just want to vent it out."
The two came to the gym. Aldrich threw the gloves to her, put on his protective shield, raised his arms in a defensive posture, and said to her: "Attack with all your strength. Whatever depression you have in your heart, let it out, little girl."
, To be honest, you have never hurt me before, you sports hottie? It’s just for show.”
Melanie rolled her eyes, became a little angry, blew her hair, and said, "Okay, you wanted to make me angry, and you succeeded."
After saying that, she wildly raised her fist and hit Aldrich...
Twenty minutes later, the two were sitting against the wall of the gym. Aldrich was intact, but Melanie's arms were sore and she was sweating all over.
She leaned her head on Aldrich's shoulder and said quietly: "Aldrich, will you always do this to me?"
"Oh, are you touched?"
"Hmm. Why have I never seen you unhappy?"
"Maybe I'm open to everything."
"You have the mentality of an old man."
"At least I won't hurt myself. What about you? Don't take everything personally. When you're not feeling happy, just find a way to cheer yourself up and keep eating. Well, I like plump women, but not
It means I like fat women."
"Hehehe, let's do some exercise then. I have no strength, it's time for you to put in some effort."
Melanie twisted her body and got into Aldrich's arms, stared deeply into his eyes, and slowly unbuttoned his shirt one by one with both hands...
Since the paparazzi's "chasing" was partly blamed for Princess Diana's death, the whole society has condemned the media industry for excessive invasion of privacy. Aldrich feels that the next period of time will be a little easier. At least the media industry
Working people will be more restrained.
Nyon, Switzerland.
The scene of the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony for the 1997/98 season.
Aldridge, who is wearing a suit and ties, is like an outlier here because he is too young. None of the head coaches present at the meeting is at least 20 years older than him.
In this gathering of famous coaches, Aldridge met many familiar coaches.
Real Madrid's new coach Jupp Heynckes, Barcelona's new coach Van Gaal, Parma coach Ancelotti, Juventus coach Lippi, Bayern Munich coach Trapattoni...
Aldrich sat on either side of him with a semi-acquaintance.
Monaco coach Tigana sat to his left, and to his right was Ancelotti, who had chatted on the phone about Thuram's transfer.
Although Tigana and Aldridge were both league champion coaches last season, Ancelotti led Parma to finish second in Serie A in the Mini World Cup. This is definitely an amazing achievement. The three of them sat together and whispered to each other about this year's results.
situation, speculating on the possibility of grouping, and communicating with each other about the strength assessment of other teams.
"Dortmund is definitely not going to work. Even though they won the championship last season, once Hitzfeld left, the entire lineup has aged another year. They are definitely going to stop this year. You see, they didn't even finish second in the league last season. If it weren't for
We won the Champions League, where can we see Dortmund now?"
"How are the two teams in the Netherlands?"
"I don't think so. Although PSV and Feyenoord play in European competitions all year round, they are not at the Champions League level after all. This year the team expanded from 16 to 24, and the competitiveness suddenly became more intense," said
To be honest, the disparity between strength and weakness will be widened."
Aldrich listened to the two people meeting and communicating. He couldn't help but interrupt: "Hey, hey, the three of us are all rookies in the Champions League. Once the eldest girl gets on the sedan, don't tell me that she is not good. Six teams
The first place qualifying and the two best group second place, if we get into the group of death, whether we can qualify or not is a big question."
An Pang and Tigana both turned to stare at Aldrich for three seconds, and then the three of them laughed loudly together.
"Hahaha, yes, we are all rookies."
Ancelotti made his coaching debut a year later than Aldrich. He only officially coached the team in 1995. Two years later, he was able to enter the Champions League stage, which can be said to be a meteoric rise.
However, perhaps it is this newborn calf's self-confidence that prevents them from looking solemn and worried like other head coaches, such as Ferguson and Heynckes.
No matter what lottery you get, just fight with your life.
The current Champions League group qualifying is extremely cruel. 24 teams are divided into 6 groups. The top 4 teams in each group qualify. In addition, the second results of each group are compared. The best two advance to the knockout rounds. The group stage ends.
What followed was a fierce quarterfinal battle.
The current president of UEFA, Johansson, took the stage to deliver a speech and also presented some awards. Among them, Millwall was selected by UEFA as the best team in Europe last season.
This has attracted Aldridge's attention. He is also very grateful to UEFA. It stands to reason that Dortmund won the Champions League last season, but Dortmund's performance in the league was average. Millwall won the Triple Crown and broke the dust.
It has a long winning streak in the five major leagues and is unparalleled for a while. It is not a surprise to be selected. However, it will not cause much controversy if UEFA gives this award to any champion team, because the champions of each league cannot compete.
contrast.
When the drawing ceremony began, the coaches of each club present looked serious, as if they were waiting for a trial.
Aldrich watched the entire lottery process calmly.
After the draw results came out, Tigana smiled, and so did Ancelotti.
Both coaches were satisfied with the draw result.
Monaco is in a group with Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting Lisbon and Lias, avoiding the championship and runner-up teams in the three major leagues of England, Italy and Spain.
Tigana is full of confidence in the prospect of qualifying.
Ancelotti's signing is not particularly good.
Parma is in the same group as Dortmund, Sparta Prague and Galatasaray.
However, An Pang had just despised the defending champion Dortmund. In his opinion, as long as Dortmund is defeated, the qualifying situation will be great. He has confidence in himself.
The two shook hands with each other, congratulated each other, and then looked at Aldrich with a look of pity.
Millwall's signing is a bit of a back-and-forth.
In addition to La Liga giants Barcelona, the same group also includes Eredivisie champions PSV and Ukrainian champions Dynamo Kiev.
There are almost no teams that can give away points in this group, especially in the same group with the powerful Barcelona. Coupled with Dynamo Kyiv and Eindhoven who may disrupt the situation, even if Millwall finishes second, maybe
The points will also be lower than the second place in other groups.
Aldrich saw the look in their eyes, stretched out his hands and crossed them in front of him, shook hands with them respectively, and said with a smile: "Good sign, good sign."
It's no wonder that others look at him with such sympathy. Although Millwall defeated Barcelona just a few months ago, in the traditional impression, Millwall was an upset. In terms of overall strength, the outside world would not think that Millwall was an upset.
Wall is already on an equal footing with Barcelona, which is normal. Rich clubs buy stars every day. The popularity they have accumulated actually reflects their perceived strength.
But this "impression" is often incorrect. Have you ever seen the Real Madrid Galacticos traveling around the universe, but only finishing in the top 16 every year...
"Oh, your Premier League champion's lottery is not as good as the Premier League runner-up's lottery over there."
Tigana glanced at Manchester United's grouping and sighed immediately.
Manchester United, Juventus, Feyenoord, Kosciusz, four teams in a group.
In addition to the obvious strength of Serie A champion Juventus led by Lippi, Feyenoord is the runner-up in the Eredivisie, and Kosis is from Slovakia. They are basically the ones who score points for each team. Even if Manchester United cannot compete with Juventus,
Defeating Feyenoord and gaining points from the Slovak champions, it won't be a problem to compete for the top two and second place in the group.
Aldridge was not envious at all and said with a smile: "If you are really jealous, why not be jealous of Real Madrid? Look, Norway's Rosenborg, Greece's Olympiakos, Portugal's Porto, Real Madrid are in suspense.
?I think my pick is pretty good. Barcelona is the favorite to qualify, and Millwall can fish in troubled waters."
This sentence definitely comes from Aldrich's heart.
Mahler Gobi has become the target of public criticism in the Premier League. He is almost collapsed by the defensive counterattack. It is best not to be a favorite. It is best if other teams feel that they have hope when they meet Millwall. Damn you guys.
Don't be a coward and attack me with real swords and guns!
Hum hum
As soon as Aldrich finished speaking, two cold snorts came from behind him.
He, Ancelotti, and Tigana all looked back, and then they realized that it was Barcelona coach Louis van Gaal who was sitting behind them. His expression was a little cold, and he glanced at Aldrich contemptuously, and then withdrew his gaze.
Lift your chin and look ahead.
Aldrich turned around and sat down as if nothing had happened.
Tigana smiled and patted the back of his hand, and Aldrich made a face.
All Millwall's first-team players in London were watching the live TV broadcast at home. After determining Millwall's grouping, they all picked up the phone to tell each other to their teammates.
"Did you watch TV?"
"Look, it looks great."
"Yeah, Barcelona, Eindhoven, Dynamo Kiev, we have no problem qualifying."
"That's right. I dreamed last night that I was assigned to a group with Real Madrid, Juventus, and Barcelona. It scared me to death."
"Eh? How is that possible? The team from the same country avoided it in the group stage."
"Who can control dreams? It's just like this, and then the world will be dark and the earth will be dark."
"Then did we qualify in the end?"
"I don't know, I dreamed that when I was playing against Juventus in the fourth game, I woke up from peeing."
"What about the first three games?"
"Huh? I forgot, anyway, I scored four goals. I took off my clothes to celebrate at the Bernabeu."
"What about me?"
"When I think about it, you don't seem to be there. That's right. Who is the right back? I can't remember."
"roll!"
The above conversation took place between Trezeguet and Schneider.
