After the game, Lippi walked into the tunnel without waiting for Aldridge to shake hands with him. The Juventus players also quickly left the field with expressions of dismay.
News came from another venue, Porto defeated Celtic.
Juventus are in danger.
They have the same points as Porto and have the same home and away record. If the two teams are still on the same point after the last round, they have to compare the goal difference. Juventus will play Celtic in the last game and Porto will be away at the Lion King Stadium.
.
If Millwall lets go, it is entirely possible that Juventus will be eliminated!
Lippi got the news and left only one sentence at the post-match press conference.
"Millwall's unbeaten record at home in Europe continues. In this devil's home court, even if Millwall qualified early, they still have a persistent belief in victory. They showed this today. I don't know what the next game against Porto will be.
Game, can they continue to maintain this belief."
Obviously, Lippi is putting pressure on Millwall.
Will it be a shameless home defeat to Porto?
Juventus not only has to beat Celtic, but also may have to consider the goal difference.
The goal difference between Juventus and Porto was that before this round, Juventus was one ahead, but after this round, Porto was ahead by one. If Porto wins in the next round, Juventus's prospects for qualifying will be very bad.
When Aldridge attended the post-game press conference, the atmosphere was very pleasant.
"Star" reporter joked: "Yesterday you criticized Juventus' conservative tactical style. In today's game, Millwall is obviously the more conservative side. Do you admit this?"
Aldridge laughed and said: "Admit it! Juventus is very strong. Although Millwall's overall strength is stronger than Juventus, we are the weaker side in terms of the strength of the players who played in the game. We played more conservatively."
, reasonable and reasonable.”
More conservative?
The Fleet Street reporter laughed and shook his head.
This young handsome man is so thick-skinned.
You clearly have a bus, but you still want to be more conservative?
If you were more conservative, wouldn't you even be a forward?
A reporter relayed Lippi's post-match remarks and asked Aldridge for his response.
"Coach Lippi is half right. Of course Millwall has a persistent belief in victory. This will never change, no matter whether we are strong or weak, but there seems to be something else in his words. I don't quite understand. Maybe in
There will be such doubts in Italy, but Millwall will adhere to its consistent tradition, no matter who the opponent is, our desire to win will not change."
"In other words, Millwall will send their main players in the next game against Porto?"
"Of course not. We have won five games and won the first place in the group. Next month we have a devilish schedule and the Champions League. I will give the young boys more playing time. By defeating Juventus today, they have gained something.
They are confident and more hungry for the game. If Porto wants to qualify, they must go all out and win, and no one will give it away."
...
The winner was the winner on the green field, Millwall defeated the main force of Juventus with a substitute lineup, and all major European media praised Aldridge when writing game reports or doing programs, except of course the Italian media.
The game was ugly to watch. Millwall won the victory with extreme counter-attacking, but this was not their main lineup, so when it comes to Aldridge, it makes him even more of a master strategist.
At the weekend, Millwall visited the Stadium of Light. The energetic main lineup beat Black Cat Sunderland with 5 goals. Next, they are preparing to leave for Japan to participate in the Toyota Cup.
At the same time, November at Manchester United was like entering a cold winter, falling into an abyss of endless darkness.
After Houllier suffered a heart attack, Liverpool's assistant coach took over as temporary leader. Instead, Liverpool united and defeated Manchester United 3:1 cleanly.
Manchester United next visited Highbury and returned home with three goals and only one defeat.
Returning to home court at the end of the month, at Old Trafford, Chelsea, who have been weak and weak this season, continued to be Manchester United's nemesis and gave Manchester United another 0:3 defeat.
1:3,1:3,0:3.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea.
Manchester United's devilish schedule in November is really ruined by the devil.
After three consecutive defeats, Manchester United announced that it would withdraw from the league championship less than halfway into the new season!
After 15 rounds, Millwall, with 12 wins and 3 draws, is the best. No one will doubt that Millwall will win four consecutive league titles at the end of this season!
Aldridge doesn't care about this. The league is a long-distance race, not a cup competition. The biggest opponent in the league is himself, not a certain team.
If Millwall relaxes at this time, not to mention that the league may be in danger, and at the same time, due to the relaxed spirit, the state cannot be continued and maintained well, it may also plant hidden dangers for other fronts.
Aldrich has told the players many times in the past few years about this principle. They all understand that sometimes, people always have high goals to ask of themselves. The forwards must pursue the number of goals and the defenders must avoid conceding the ball.
And if they make a fool of themselves, midfielders will also want to improve their statistics and so on. Take Aldrich himself as an example, when he wanted to take over the national team, wasn't it because he wanted to give himself a new challenge?
Only when you have goals and pressure can you have huge motivation.
Before preparing to leave for Japan, Aldridge came to hang out with the reserve team.
After a brief chat with reserve team coach Byrne, he shouted to Ronaldo on the training ground: "Cristiano, come here."
Cristiano Ronaldo has now begun to dress himself up. To put it bluntly, he looks pretty.
But, young people are like this. Those who don’t like to dress up and pay attention to appearance usually either don’t have the conditions or don’t have the capital.
Cristiano Ronaldo trotted up to Aldridge and asked: "What's the matter?"
"Get ready and go to Japan with the first team tomorrow."
"No, I'll stay and train."
After Ronaldo said that, he turned around and went back to training.
This kid is famous for his hard training and talent. Therefore, in every echelon, he is the focus. Although he lacks leadership qualities as a loner, others are paying attention to his every move.
The other reserve team players also heard what Aldridge said, and when they saw Ronaldo rejecting it without hesitation, their eyes widened.
Isn't this guy too awesome?
Cristiano Ronaldo actually has his own ideas. He participated in the Toyota Cup last year and won the championship. It doesn't matter whether he goes or not this year, and he feels that if he goes, it will be a holiday. Aldridge should not let him play. Otherwise, he would have been eliminated long ago.
He has been transferred to the first team.
He has been troubled recently. In the Premier League reserve team, his physical confrontation was obviously at a disadvantage. He also understood why Aldrich did not transfer him to the first team.
Therefore, he must seize the time to train and strengthen his body until he wins the reserve team championship. He believes that he will definitely be able to enter the first team next season.
Aldridge didn't expect Ronaldo to turn around and leave, so he laughed angrily.
"Hey. You don't want the starter in the Toyota Cup final?"
When Ronaldo heard this, he stopped, turned around, walked back to Aldrich, and asked: "Boss, you asked me to go to Japan, didn't you just go to the bench or take a vacation?"
"Remember one thing, I said, you obey, this is the discipline of the first team."
Aldrich didn't answer Ronaldo's question at all. Ronaldo thought for a while and nodded, saying, "I'm sorry."
After a while of silence, Ronaldo asked again: "Is there anything else?"
"Well, go ahead and get ready. We'll leave tomorrow."
"OK."
Ronaldo turned around and went back to continue training.
Bourne smiled bitterly and said: "This kid is gifted and talented, and he has a very correct professional attitude at a young age. But one thing is that he is too individual."
Aldridge smiled and said: "Yeah, but some players just need a different personality."
Take Cristiano Ronaldo as an example. He likes to be in the limelight, has a desire for expression, and has a desire to dominate on the court. He wants to tell everyone: I am the best in the world!
This is considered a bad trait in the eyes of many people who don't like him, because Ronaldo is too sharp and doesn't know how to restrain his sharp edges. Sometimes he goes too far and even hurts his own people.
But thinking about it on the other hand, if Ronaldo didn't have the ambition to be number one in the world and the desire to control victory or defeat, would his talent and hard work have sent him to that height in the future?
Aldridge called Ribery in front of him again.
In the current Millwall reserve team, the 18-year-old Ribery is not particularly outstanding, but he has made significant progress compared to when he came to the team two years ago, but his strength still has not reached the level of quantitative change.
A qualitative change, so in the reserve team, he plays a supporting role, a role that assists 16-year-old Ronaldo.
Aldridge sometimes worries whether Scarface will continue to be mediocre. After all, for a genius, 18 years old is definitely an age where he should perform well. Even if it is not enough to soar in the professional arena, at least he can perform well in training.
Various technical indicators should also have obvious advantages, but Ribery can only be said to be slightly better than ordinary players.
So this time when he went to Japan, Aldrich took Ribery with him to let him experience the big scene and experience the atmosphere of the finals.
When Franck Ribery learned that he could go to Japan, he went back to continue training with excitement. He couldn't be as calm as Cristiano Ronaldo. Being able to go to Japan, whether he could play in games or not, would at least open his eyes.
After leaving the reserve team's training ground, Aldridge walked to the youth team's training ground.
This season, Nagy no longer serves as the coach of the youth team, but only as the director of the youth team, because he has to devote his energy to other tasks. Millwall has opened football schools and training camps around the world on a small scale. On the one hand, Nagy
I have to train coaches, provide guidance, and also scout out any good prospects. The work is very busy, but I will follow up on the player growth report of the Millwall youth team every week.
The head coach of the youth team is now Dean Richards. This tough guy who was forced to retire due to hidden health problems is now healthy. However, if he wants to play football, he may only go to a low-level team. His physical condition is already complete.
It can no longer keep up with the standards of top competition.
After Aldridge arrived, he had a few words with Richards as usual to learn about the training situation of the youth team players.
The Millwall youth team continues its fine tradition and is unstoppable in the youth league. Johnson, Baines, Hart, Pongler, and Rooney have carried the banner of the youth team.
"Leave Rooney to me for a few days and I will take him to Japan."
Aldridge explained his purpose to Richards, and when he talked about Rooney, Richards was full of praises. This 16-year-old fat guy was like a bulldog on the court. Richards was originally a defender, and he liked this.
An impactful player.
When Rooney came to Aldridge, Aldridge was distracted.
Rooney's hair is a bit long, so it's probably time to cut it recently.
Now this brown hair is still very lush.
Aldrich unconsciously thought of Wayne Rooney, who was starting to go bald in his youth.
Lu Xiaopang looked up at Aldrich, a little confused as to why the boss was staring at the top of his head!
Have a problem with your hairstyle?
Well, I also think long hair doesn’t look good, so it’s better to cut it short.
"Go to Japan with the first team tomorrow. Go back and prepare. Go to bed early at night. Don't be late tomorrow. The team waits for no one."
After Aldridge finished speaking, Rooney's eyes widened and he shouted excitedly: "Understood!" (To be continued...)
