The young marshal is in good condition, and the reporters are happy to see him. This way they can get a lot of news, and it is best not to use static diplomatic rhetoric.
Giancarlo witnessed AC Milan's defeat in midweek and was the first to raise his hand to ask a question today.
"Millwall has a Champions League match in the middle of the week. Will this have an impact on tomorrow's game? Especially Millwall has to play away."
Aldridge replied calmly with a smile on his face: "I can't say there is no impact at all, but this is what strong teams have to face every season. We have been participating in European competitions in the past few years, and we were not able to adapt at first, but
Years of accumulated experience have allowed the team to face a dense schedule, especially a schedule with short intervals between European games and league games. We have our own way of dealing with it. I believe Millwall will be in good shape to compete tomorrow.
, no matter what the result is, I will not make excuses for the team in advance."
Giancarlo nodded and said: "What about Millwall's goal for tomorrow's game? Although Leeds United's performance in the past few years is not at the same level as Millwall's, their performance since the beginning of this season has been amazing."
Aldridge replied directly without thinking: "Millwall has only one goal for all games, and that is to win. Although not all games can be won by us, we play every game with the determination to win.
game."
Giancarlo stopped asking questions and looked at each other with a smile.
After being in close contact with Aldrich for a long time, you can naturally understand the young marshal's current state, and he seems to have a murderous aura when answering questions.
Richard from the "Daily Mail" is very thoughtful. Of course he wanted to add some fuel to the fire at this time. He smiled and asked: "What do you think of Leeds United? Especially since the chairman of Leeds United seems to define Millwall as the target for Leeds United to catch up.
."
In the past, Aldrich probably wouldn't have taken this issue, but today, he really talked about it.
"I don't think it's surprising or strange. Millwall has won so many honors in recent years, especially the Champions League. Leeds surpassed Millwall, which is good. It means they are enterprising. Who will
Hate an ambitious club? I love Leeds United. Really love it.
, they are young, passionate, full of momentum, and the public psychology is normal. They hope to see new forces in the Premier League, but do not want to see Millwall every season. Manchester United and Arsenal are competing for the championship. I understand this very well.
Mood, for example, you, Richard, you don't want to see your immediate boss in his
You and your colleagues will definitely have the idea of replacing you. If you don't have such an idea, your company's performance will decline all the way. This is the most basic law of social progress, competition! I like competition. No
With competition, the strong will gradually become weaker. The more intense the competition in the Premier League
, will help Millwall become stronger, and in turn, make Millwall more competitive throughout Europe. Therefore, I like Leeds United, which is currently ranked third in the league, and I hope they will never fall behind.
, it would be best to see them at the top of the standings in May next year."
The reporters at the scene felt refreshed.
It's different when the young marshal opens his mouth.
Simply listening to it, Aldrich's words seemed insignificant.
But if they think about it carefully, they can all find that Aldridge has actually been putting Millwall in an absolutely strong position, and it is Leeds United who is challenging them. This is a tacit fact, but
If you declare it to your mouth, the feeling will definitely be different, a bit domineering.
Richard smiled and asked: "If Leeds United is at the top of the standings next May but is ahead of Millwall, will you still like them?"
Aldridge showed his hands and said: "Of course, why not? In this way, they have helped me find the problem of the team, but I question your assumption. Unless God helps you, let my team suffer widespread serious injuries."
Sick, if this is really the case, Richard, you will regret it, I will set fire to your company and put all the responsibility on you!"
Richard and the reporters around him laughed.
"There are several old Millwall players in Leeds United. Will this be beneficial to Millwall's game tomorrow? Because of their technical characteristics, you must know better than other teams and know how to better restrict them."
"You are vetoing O'Reilly's work by saying this. Since the summer, he has been cultivating a stronger team. Ferdinand is no longer Millwall's Ferdinand, and Cahill is not Millwall's Cahill.
, they have all changed, and we will face Leeds United with the same working attitude as we treat other opponents. We will not take it lightly and think that we have a chance to win just because we know Ferdinand and other players better."
...
The next day, major media focused on the key battle between Leeds United and Millwall. The title of The Times was: Hall looks forward to the challenge!
Millwall went to Yorkshire in high spirits. The game was a sell-out, and the Elland Road stadium was packed. An hour before the game started, Leeds United fans came to the stadium from all directions. They were even more motivated than the soldiers.
Hall looking forward to the challenge?
They were dismissive.
It was as if Leeds United was not worth mentioning in Aldridge's eyes.
I recall that when Don Levi created the White Rose era, Millwall didn't know where they were languishing!
In the eyes of Leeds United fans, Leeds United is not rising now, but reviving!
Compared with history, although they are not as good as the traditional three giants such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool, they are definitely better than the upstarts like Millwall who have emerged in recent years.
In street interviews, most Leeds United fans gave basically the same answers about their expectations for the game.
"We defeated them last year, and they were nothing special. This year we are stronger than last year, and playing at home, we can definitely win the game!"
Yeah, 11 months ago, they beat Millwall, just in the league.
There is nothing wrong with this statement. If ordinary fans who study the game look at history, they will also find the historical record of Leeds United defeating Millwall 1:0 at home last season.
It seems that everyone has forgotten what state Millwall was at that time and what the general environment was like at that time.
Millwall was a tired team fighting on multiple fronts, and two of the team's main players were absent at the time. Henry was also still recovering from injury.
Are Leeds United better than last year?
Are Millwall the same as last year or weaker?
When Millwall arrived at Elland Road, they were greeted by high-pitched war chants from the home fans.
Among the dazzling slogans in the stands, some supported Leeds United players, some supported O'Reilly, and most of them were declarations of defeating Millwall.
Aldridge sat quietly in the locker room. After the players returned to the locker room after warming up, he stood up and remained silent for half a minute. After the players changed their jerseys, he walked up to Henry, looked down at him, and asked lightly
: "Thierry, tell me, what is your goal today?"
Henry looked up at Aldridge and said matter-of-factly: "Win the game."
"wrong."
Aldrich turned to look at Ronaldinho again and asked: "What is your goal today?"
Ronaldinho grinned and said: "Let Leeds United remember us forever."
Aldrich snapped his fingers, then turned to look at Makelele and asked: "Claude, what is your goal today?"
Makelele said expressionlessly: "Destroy this stadium, make this place a hell, let Leeds United players, fans, coaches, damn everyone related to Leeds United, be in pain.
, I don’t want to recall this day!”
Play Leeds United. Who is most excited?
Makelele!
Aldridge looked around. Players such as Southgate and Nedvěd who had followed him for many years had already understood it. They held their heads high and looked serious.
"I won't say how strong Leeds United is. If you take it lightly you will be punished. That's a lie. Even children will not believe it! Who are we? Millwall, the number of trophies we have won over the years.
That’s more than the combined starting eleven of Leeds United! We are the champions, we are the kings, we are the target of challenges from countless teams, Leeds United, they are just one of the challengers!”
Aldrich paused after saying this, and the players couldn't help but nodded.
They have never felt that there is any difference between Leeds United and opponents such as Tottenham and Aston Villa. If I insist on saying so, it is that Leeds United has been in the limelight recently. Compared with their own team's unbeatable record since the new season,
The other party has nothing to be proud of.
Aldridge continued: "Leeds United are the challengers. We can imagine, if they beat us today, what impact will it have on them? Especially what impact will it have on their players' confidence? What impact will it have on them?
They are a great encouragement, just like in the past few years we defeated strong opponents such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona, and Juventus.
The impact on morale is the same, but what about you? You have become a loser, and only after leaving Yorkshire can you hold your head high again. But when we come here, in front of Leeds United fans, do we still have the dignity of the strong?
Do we still have the confidence to be strong? Thinking of this, we have no retreat, only one choice, tell me, tell me loudly, what is it? "
"win!"
"That's right, win, keep winning, keep winning. I can't accept losing points to Leeds United again today. If you can accept it, then take off your jersey and get out now. We want to tell all challengers that the throne is not who it is.
Everyone can sit on it! Champions cannot be given away easily! Leeds United? Hahaha, which one of them is better than us? Experience in top events? Team chemistry? Unity and will? We are not here to fight today.
field general
It’s definitely not a popular league. We are here to teach Leeds United a lesson and tell them the reality: Leeds United is still far, far away from being truly powerful! We are here to occupy the Elland Road Stadium.
Come here to let them see what a real top team is, let their fans see with their own eyes the gap with us, and let their players feel the dominance of the championship team to the core! Challenge us? Leeds United in the White House
It’s time to wake up from the dream!”
Aldridge's momentum was overwhelming, and the players also became murderous, shouting one after another to teach Leeds United a lesson!
When walking out of the locker room, Aldridge took 10 seconds to calm down, and then walked out of the tunnel with a smile. Ferdinand, Cahill and other Leeds United players had no chance to say hello to him on the way.
Today, Aldrich doesn't want to dwell on old times.
After walking into the stadium, under the bright sunshine, Aldridge heard the shouts of Leeds United's home fans. The noisy stands were like a stage that had been set up, waiting for the players to appear on the stage and sing.
In previous years, Millwall was too distracted by the European war and would slack off from time to time in the league. But this year, Millwall can at least face it easily in the group stage of the European war without being overly distracted. After all, the qualifying places in the group are loose, and the European war is
The competition intensity in the group stage has also dropped, so today's Millwall can definitely show their best form and strongest strength to come here to really compete with Leeds United.
O'Reilly was in front of the coaching bench, and there were many fans cheering for him in the nearby stands.
Aldridge stood in front of the visiting team's coaching bench with his hands behind his back. He could hear the fans in the stands chasing O'Reilly, just like they did when he coached Millwall in the early days, but now there is no such thing at the Lion's Den.
Fanatic, because Lions fans are used to Aldridge, as if he is their friend, family, and a part of their lives. Perhaps, one day when Aldridge is no longer around, it will cause a huge response.
