The battle at the Lion King Stadium has come to an end, the smoke has cleared, and the devastated Bat Legion has bid farewell. The crazy lions who are proud of Europa are still walking on the road to dominate the football world.
The Spanish media described Valencia's exit as extremely tragic.
1:0, 1:4, the total score was 2:4.
Just looking at the score, it's hard to imagine the progress of the game.
Valencia, which was at the peak of counterattack defense, could not stop the second-generation Mad Lion from continuing its glorious pace.
Fleet Street did not overly promote Millwall's victory because there was more shocking news worthy of their writing.
“The Premier League is prosperous!”
At the end of the quarter-finals, only one of the four Premier League teams was blocked from the top four.
Leeds United beat Deportivo La Coruna with three goals at home, and were almost overturned by Deportivo in the away game. The final total score was 3:2 and they advanced to the semi-finals. They were in the bottom half with Millwall and met in the semi-finals. England will play
civil war!
Arsenal also advanced to the semi-finals with a home win and away loss.
The only bad thing is that the Red Devils and Manchester United were beaten twice home and away by Bayern Munich. If they can turn things around and defeat the German team champions, the Champions League will usher in an unprecedented scene: the semi-finals will be swept by English teams.
In the end, it was one step away from becoming a situation where the top three teams in the Premier League surrounded and suppressed Bayern Munich.
After the Champions League game, the team has a day off.
Aldrich and Ivan appeared in London's Savile Row with their two sons.
Savile Row is the temple of customized men's clothing. There are many long-established and famous clothing stores on this street. The well-known and expensive handmade tailors are the biggest selling point here. From the royal family to celebrities from all over the world, they come here one after another.
I have always been a regular customer here.
Aldridge has become a regular visitor since he returned to London seven years ago and started working there.
Moreover, for seven years, he has only customized ready-to-wear in H-Huntsman stores.
A person relies on his clothes as if he were wearing gold. Although Aldridge also wears ordinary casual clothes, in formal occasions, he still has to ensure that his image is both decent and extraordinary. As a head coach, he must have a dignified appearance. Ornaments or unique hairstyles, then
These are non-mainstream behaviors that will only lead to ridicule. The only thing that can be worked on is of course clothing.
The cost of clothing in this store is among the most expensive in the entire street. The average Aldrich suit costs more than 5,000 pounds. He has been visiting for a long time and has become a regular customer. What he wants is not to be able to take advantage of discounts.
, the key is that these stores are one-for-one, and they are definitely not modified and adjusted based on the existing patterns in ordinary clothing stores. The hand tailors are familiar with Aldrich, so the changes made in customizing new clothes are not big, and at the same time, it saves the money.
Derich proposed the process of requesting detailed design of clothing such as pocket size.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the store, Aldridge tried on the newly made suit, while Yiwen stood beside him and reviewed it from different angles.
The gray-haired tailor, who is nearly sixty years old, is very well-dressed, wearing a white shirt, blue vest and trousers. If he were thirty years younger and had a beautiful side parting, people might mistake him for a financial aristocrat or scholar. Nowadays, people are old.
The handwork was laborious. He wore a pair of glasses and a measuring tape hanging around his neck. He smoothed the shoulders of Aldrich's suit and said with a smile: "Actually, your waistline is not bad, and there is no sign of obesity."
"
Aldrich was still feeling himself, and smiled when he heard this: "Don't I know my situation yet? I can't tell from my face, but my body has indeed gained a lot of weight."
Aldridge has always liked to wear suits that are slim and streamlined, which makes him look tall and handsome. There are men who are not beautiful, and Aldridge is one of them.
Payne, the old tailor, wondered: "In the past six years, your figure has not changed much, but this year...have you become lazy?"
Aldrich laughed. He used to be thin and muscular. Before this new suit was custom-made, he felt that he had fat in his belly and gained weight. The originally slim-fitting suit was a bit tight, so he was anxious to have it custom-made.
New clothes, but when it comes to body shape, the change is not obvious. When the tailor measures the size inch by inch, the changes in the tailor's eyes are completely different from what ordinary people see with the naked eye.
"Penn, you've been here before, don't you understand the reason?"
Aldrich turned to Payne and smiled.
Payne looked at Yiwen thoughtfully, showing a surprised expression.
How can a man not gain weight if he has tenderness?
Yiwen rolled his eyes and took a step forward, resting his chin on Aldrich's shoulder and said in his ear: "Do you rely on me?"
"Haha, what else?"
"Anyway, you know in your heart that your body belongs to you. If you are exhausted, you don't care, but someone is sad."
He said nothing more as he was told, and nodded to Aldrich with a smile, meaning that this new suit was good.
Aldrich sighed inwardly.
It cannot be said that he has become lazy this year, but that he is too busy and has no time to exercise. He is also the coach of the national team. He does not have games on weekdays, but he also has to study information and regularly observe the performance of national team players in their respective clubs. He cannot be present in person.
I went to watch a game, so I could only watch videos. Work required a lot more time than before, so I used all the time I squeezed out to sleep and rest.
If Yiwen hadn't been there to remind him from time to time, he would have collapsed from exhaustion at some point.
Aldrich was almost trying it on when he found Bert and Earl standing by his legs, pulling on his pants and pointing at Aldrich's suit.
When Payne saw this, he smiled kindly and said: "You two little guys can't wait, it's your turn soon."
Somehow, the two sons seemed to see Aldrich often in the newspapers, and Aldrich must be in a suit and ties when he appeared in the newspapers. The two sons rummaged through their wardrobes and couldn't find the same clothes, so they proposed
He is also required to wear the same clothes as his father.
When the children were playing around, they could just wear an ordinary small suit in children's size. However, Aldrich still asked Payne to tailor it for his two sons. This was a waste of money, but Aldrich didn't care, even if his son wore it.
One day, as long as they are happy.
Not long after, Payne led the two little guys out of the fitting room. Bert and Earl hurriedly ran to the mirror and posed coquettishly, comparing themselves to Aldrich. They smiled with satisfaction.
Before Aldrich left, Payne repeated the exclamation he always made.
"Aldridge, don't you think your image should make you coach the team in West London?"
Aldrich covered his ears with his hands and left with a smile.
Payne is a Chelsea fan, and he feels that West London, where land is at a premium, and Stamford Bridge, which is noble and classy, should be Aldridge's destination. At least in terms of image, they are more suitable for Aldridge.
Millwall's Lion King Stadium is indeed extraordinary, but that's just the club's stadium. If the cultural and geographical environment of East London where immigrants are mixed can be compared with North London and West London, beggars will be the first to stand up and refute!
The Hall family has invested in East London all year round, but when it comes to investment, it must follow policies. If the London City Government does not vigorously improve the environment of East London, no matter how much money the Hall family invests, it will be wasted. Now that is
Investing some money is like giving back to your hometown. Winning the recognition and support of your fellow villagers, part of the positive impact will be passed on to Millwall Club.
If there is anything Millwall currently lacks compared to other giants, it is the geographical environment of the club itself. In terms of security, culture, business, ethnic groups, etc., East London is a relatively backward area. In this regard, Millwall Club itself
It cannot be changed, because it is impossible for the club to move. If you dare to do so, you are simply betraying your ancestors. Even three generations of loyal fans, even four generations, will turn from loving Millwall to hating Millwall.
The only thing that can change is the external environment. Aldridge can run the club well and the Hall family can make millions of dollars, but if you dare to think about changing the face of a large area in London, it is fanciful and overestimating your capabilities.
Summer is approaching, and Aldrich spent today's vacation shopping with Ivan. Passing by a brand optical store, Bert and Earl pointed out that black sunglasses were indispensable, so Aldrich bought them for each of his two sons.
One, when the two of them put on the smallest style of flat sunglasses, they were still a little too big, almost turning into toad glasses, covering half of their faces.
Aldrich and Yiwen were each holding the hand of a child. These two little guys were wearing suits and black supercars. They were not fashionable at all, but they had the look of a pocket-sized version of MIB.
Paparazzi reporters appeared out of nowhere, took photos of the four of them, and then disappeared without a trace.
Aldrich and Yiwen looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They often encounter this kind of thing when they go out shopping. Some paparazzi who have a little bit of restraint will follow them and take pictures, hiding in the dark, for fear of showing their faces and defeating each other's interest. In this way,
I couldn’t take a photo of the back, like the guy just now, he must have been in
After a short trip, I didn’t just sit around and shoot celebrities. Catching Aldridge was like pie in the sky. I quickly finished the photo and left. However, as long as you have patience, even if you stay in Savile Row for a month, let alone celebrities.
, you can take photos of even the royal families of the Middle East.
Aldrich was used to it and didn't mind it too much. He went to some women's clothing stores with Yiwen and personally selected cool summer clothes for her, and then bought some swimming equipment for Bert and Earl. This summer, he couldn't go anywhere.
I don’t want to go. No matter how successful the club is at the end of the season, preparations for the summer will be on track. After all, we went to Asia last year and there will be a World Cup next year. It is best to recharge and rest this summer.
After having lunch at a two-star Michelin restaurant, Yiwen proposed to go home. She still hoped that Aldrich could stay at home to recuperate on this day off.
After returning home, Bert and Earl, who had been hot for three minutes, felt that it was difficult to move in their small suits, so they took off and changed them. Remembering the swimming ring they bought, the two little guys pestered Aldrich and asked him to take them there.
swim.
There is a small swimming pool in his backyard. It is only the beginning of April and the temperature is not even 20 degrees. Fortunately, the swimming pool has a heating system. I disagree with this article a hundred times, but Aldrich insisted on having his own way and put on his swimming trunks to accompany the two of them in the water.
My sons were playing, and it was too early to teach them how to swim, so I let Bert and Earl put on swimming rings and play in the pool.
Yiwen looked at the father and son helplessly. She took some towels out to prevent the three of them from getting cold when they came out of the swimming pool.
Then she picked a novel from the study room and lay on the lounge chair by the swimming pool. She read the novel to pass the time, while Aldrich played with his two sons in the swimming pool. For Aldrich, this rest day was very important to him.
Enjoyable.
However, the next day, both father and son caught a cold.
