PS: I don’t know if it’s because of the expansion of the European Cup, but I always feel that the European Cup qualifiers have been upset one after another, and the stronger teams feel a little bit more relaxed... Platini’s reforms have been changed again and again.
The Champions League and the European Cup are all heading towards civilianization. Does European football also need to be down-to-earth?
Thanks to "Thief Death" for the reward!

Millwall's three games against Leeds United came to an end, with a total score of 14:1 making Leeds United the laughing stock of football.
There were losses and gains, and O'Reilly fell from the altar. He stepped on Aldridge and was promoted to the altar two years ago. Ranking fifth in the Premier League was not enough to make him special, but in that season, Leeds United won one
After a draw with Millwall, O'Reilly was in full glory, with Millwall and Aldridge, who had just won the Champions League, as a backdrop.
A year later, Leeds United took another step forward, finishing fourth in the league, entering the Champions League, and reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in the same season.
Another year later, Leeds United reached the semi-finals of the Champions League again, and entered the semi-finals of the European competition for two consecutive years. This can be said to be the peak moment of Leeds United. Who would have thought that at this moment, Leeds United and O'Reilly were beaten by the Mad Lions.
Returning to his true form, he was even branded with shame.
Between gains and losses, Aldridge is at a disadvantage. He knows in his heart that the outside world actually wants to see Leeds United defeat Millwall upset, and he led the team to defeat Leeds United by a big score, and he will not get much praise from the outside world. If he is upset,
, the loss of reputation for him and Millwall is too great.
There is no way, this is the norm in football, Aldridge has made a name for himself. Now it is natural to kill small fish and shrimps no matter how many, but it has become a stepping stone for others to achieve success.
The Lion's journey continues. Aldrich's life is still going as planned.
In the third to last round of the Premier League, Millwall will leave for Manchester. Preparations have been made during the day. When he gets home at night, Aldridge has eaten and taken a shower, and then he has to dive into his study to work overtime.
Either don’t do it, or do your best if you do it.
After becoming the coach of the England national team, he has become accustomed to working overtime at home.
Regularly track and observe the performance of the England internationals. This is not just enough to look at the scouting report, but also the player's specific performance, state ups and downs, whether they have played a new position in the club, or performed under the coach's new tactics.
Unexpected effects, etc.
It was approaching 11 o'clock in the evening, and Aldridge was still watching the video of Hargreaves's Bayern Munich game, making his own judgment based on the scouting report. He was recording and summarizing with a notebook in his hand.
He really doesn't expect the future for some England internationals, such as Butt, Heskey, and Phil Neville. They have all passed the most critical stage of player growth. And the younger player, who is more malleable, is Audrey.
The focus of Qi's concern is that he also has a list of national team recommendations in his hand, and there is a name on it that Aldridge is paying attention to recently: John Terry.
Terry is lucky. At the age when he needs to be promoted the most, he meets the opportunity when Chelsea's money is shrinking and they can only tap the potential internally. There is also a kind-hearted Ranieri who patiently trains him. Chelsea's record has declined this season, but Terry is growing rapidly.
There are still three official matches in the world preliminaries, Finland, Germany, and Greece. Aldrich is confident of qualifying. Even if he is close, he will be sure to pass in the play-offs and 180 minutes.
The World Cup is still more than a year away. After all, Terry will be a figure that the Three Lions can rely on for many years in the future. It will be good for his growth to experience big scenes early. Aldrich decided to call up the national team for the first time in a friendly match in June.
Terry, as for the final World Cup squad, that's still far away.
The door of the study room was gently pushed open, and a "little lion" and a cute "kangaroo" walked in lightly. Although Aldrich was staring at the notebook, he had already noticed it, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
When the "little lion" came and hid on the side of the desk, he suddenly put his head over and yelled.
"Wow!"
Bert, who was wearing a lion-shaped one-piece pajamas, was startled and leaned back, knocking Earl, who was wearing a kangaroo pajamas, directly to the ground.
When Aldrich saw his two sons fell to the ground, he immediately got up and walked over, fearing that they would be hurt by the fall, but the two little guys got up like normal people and threw themselves into Aldrich's arms, one on the left and the other on the right.
Aldrich sat down and let them sit on his lap.
"Why don't you sleep?"
Aldrich smiled and pressed his forehead to Burt's. Burt also pressed Aldrich's forehead hard and said, "Sleep."
The child spoke in a milky voice, which sounded sweet to Aldrich's ears, like the sounds of nature.
"Huh? Lying is very bad."
"Sleep, um, sleep, 10 minutes, no, 20 minutes."
Earl, sitting on Aldridge's left lap, defended his brother.
Aldrich's smile grew wider.
It was obvious that he was not asleep.
"Then why did you wake up again?"
Earl took out a book from the belly pocket of his kangaroo pajamas and showed it to Aldrich.
It turned out that they wanted to hear a story.
Aldrich turned off the computer and TV in the study room, closed the notebook and put it away, then carried his two sons back to their bedroom, let them lie on the bed, and took the bedtime book for them.
Telling stories, deliberately speaking softly and slowly, with a certain hypnotic effect. He learned this trick from Ms. Rowling.
About half an hour later, Aldrich shut his mouth completely and sat quietly by the bed to make sure the two little guys were asleep. Then he got up and put the book on the bedside, bent down and pulled the quilt for them.
They kissed each other on the forehead, and finally left softly.
...
"In the 67th minute, Millwall secured the victory through a corner kick attack. 3:0, Materazzi scored with a header. There is no suspense about the outcome of the game. Millwall will continue to lead the Premier League standings!"
Manchester, Maine Road Stadium.
The atmosphere among the home team fans in the stands was lifeless, and the attendance at the stadium today was not optimistic.
Manchester City was relegated after losing to Manchester United in their last derby at Old Trafford.
There is no fighting spirit in this game at home, and the players on the field are probably thinking about their future for next season.
Millwall did not go as far as the outside world expected. It was a life-or-death attitude at the last moment of the championship. Today, it was just a normal performance. The players did not show any impatience or radical mentality, and played smoothly. The game lasted until 67 minutes.
Seal the victory.
Aldridge made substitutions on the sidelines and asked Pirlo and Larsson to take a rest. He high-fived the two of them in celebration, smiling and looking relaxed.
Ferguson was very quiet before the start of this round of the league, and it was difficult for him to express his position or exert pressure.
Does Manchester United need help from Manchester City to win the championship?
Are you kidding me? It would be nice if Manchester City didn't do any harm. In the last round, Manchester United relegated their rivals in the same city. What can Ferguson expect from Manchester City?
In the same game, Manchester United challenged Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.
Ferguson sat on the visiting team's coaching bench with a long face. The scoreboard read 0:2 and Manchester United was leading by two goals, but Ferguson was not happy at all.
In the past few years, Millwall has been unbelievably strong in the closing stages. Such an outbreak is very scary.
This is the effect of Millwall's habit of harvesting trophies in May. The players work together as one and work hard, then win the championship, celebrate, and go on vacation happily, forming a benign pattern.
The live broadcast camera frequently focused on Ferguson. Seeing his somewhat sad expression, the commentator felt deep sympathy.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Manchester United will win this game and their points will reach 88 points. This is the first time since the Premier League. As of the 36th round, Manchester United has set a new record for points. But Millwall should also win today.
Wall has 89 points, 1 point higher than Manchester United. Looking at the points, Millwall has less than last season and Manchester United has more than the same period last season. However, Millwall still suppresses Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson has not yet admitted defeat, but the situation is different.
Things are getting worse for Manchester United. It's hard to blame Manchester United.
United did not work hard enough. It can only be said that they may lack a little luck. At the same time, Yorke's decline in form is also a problem for Manchester United this season. Ferguson made the right decision to replace Yorke with Ruud Ruud in the second half of the season. The Dutch used one after another
The goal proved himself. Ferguson may be regretting why he didn't use Ruud earlier. He wasted too much patience on York. After being disappointed again and again, he finally made up his mind to bring this hero who won the Champions League in 1999.
Relegated to limbo."
Ferguson was dissatisfied.
Why?
Millwall prepared for the game last summer by traveling to Asia to make money. Manchester United's preparations were more active and serious than their opponents. Millwall had the negative impact of Nedvěd's absence for half the season, and during this period, Gattuso and Matra
Due to the unexpected incident of Qi's red card and multiple game suspensions, Manchester United has taken the league absolutely seriously and meticulously this season. There have been no major mistakes, and small mistakes cannot be avoided occasionally. But just looking at the points, there are more than last season, which is enough to prove that he is still good at it.
Pushing the limits.
Millwall won the championship last season with 100 points. This season will definitely not be able to break last season's record, but the difference in points is estimated to be not much, which is only a difference of three or four wins and draws.
Looking back on this season, if they still lost to Millwall, Ferguson believed that the only reason for losing was that Manchester United was not as quiet and united as Millwall.
Since the season when Yorke won the Champions League, he has appeared in entertainment pages and made headlines much more often than in football news. Ferguson gave him one chance, two chances, and countless chances. Finally, he couldn't bear the thought of Yorke being on both sides of the ball.
The third page of the soap opera was full of love affairs, and Yorke's performance on the field was deteriorating. There is no doubt that flirting with women off the field consumed too much of his energy.
well!
Ferguson sighed when he saw that the game was about to end and Manchester United would take these three points.
If Ruud was trusted from the beginning of the season and allowed to directly replace Yorke, then this season would not be in the passive situation it is now.
At the same time, during the first half of the Manchester United league, there was a troublemaker in the locker room, which also had a certain negative impact on the military morale within Manchester United.
This troublemaker is the Australian goalkeeper Bosnich. Ever since Bosnich was arrested for partying in a nightclub and assaulting a reporter on the eve of his wedding, Ferguson rushed to the police station to bail him out and lost his face.
Was abandoned by Ferguson.
After being abandoned, Bosnich showed a very "manly" side and became a bomb in the Manchester United dressing room, especially since he and Yorke had a bad rap, which also triggered a negative scandal. Bosnich, Yorke,
Adding an unknown man, two girls, and a group of 5 people-P took a selfie and it was obtained by reporters and spread throughout the streets.
On January 1 this year, Bosnich wrote down five things to do in the New Year in his diary.
First, bravely fight against Ferguson’s Manchester United people!
Second, regain the main position at Manchester United!
Third, let everyone see how powerful I am!
Fourth, let York share Jordan with me.
Fifth, if I cannot do the above four things, I will die at Old Trafford!
Bosnich caused chaos in the Manchester United dressing room. None of his New Year's wishes were realized. Only half a month later, Ferguson sent him to Chelsea for free...
Thinking of what happened in the locker room this season, Ferguson felt like crying even though he was old.
He clearly had a chance to seize the initiative in the championship, but something happened to ruin his dominance!
On the other hand, although Millwall has had several twists and turns this season, the locker room has not exposed any problems that affect the morale of the military. Aldridge has always dealt with internal affairs quickly. After Pagliuca joined, Keller declared that he would not accept the third choice.
Regarding the treatment of the goalkeeper, he became silent within less than ten days because Aldridge not only let him go, but also in the summer both sides
The amicable termination of the contract allows Keller to freely choose a new club. His free agency can be exchanged for a hefty salary. Aldridge thinks of his hard work for many years, and the transfer fee, which is capped at two million pounds, is not required at best.
Well, as long as Keller spends this half season quietly, after all, Butt is injured, and if Pagliuca has an accident, someone still needs to step in.
Ferguson is also wondering whether it is because Aldridge is the boss and he is just the coach, so Aldridge appears to be more neat and free-spirited than him when it comes to dealing with internal issues in the locker room.
