In the press box at the Yokohama International Stadium, reporters from all over Fleet Street were watching the game. Some people simply watched the game and read the game based on their brains and knowledge, such as David Miller of The Times.
For example, Jennings of the BBC, but there are also reporters who use pens to record some small details discovered during the game as a starting point for post-game reports, such as Howard of the "Sun" and Richard of the "Daily Mail".

As colleagues, we naturally know each other, and occasionally we have to deal with each other, selling information to each other or cooperating to hype hot topics.
Richard looked at Thomson from "The Sun" next to him, and suddenly remembered that about 8 years ago, they were both newcomers in the industry. The job of following the wealthy families was naturally done by their seniors. Their icing on the cake was just making wedding dresses for others.
, so I had no choice but to run the news by myself and dig out new topics. So, the two fledgling
Young people met at the Lion's Den Stadium, waiting to see how the farce of the rich man who spends a lot of money would end. This wait lasted for eight years. During these eight years, there must have been jokes and a lot of farce, but no matter how you look at it,
Millwall, a hooligan team that was so miserable back then, may never be able to part ways with them in this life.
It is undeniable that no matter how arrogant Richard is, he even mentioned how Thomson could get ahead in the sensational place of "The Sun" when he and Thomson first met. In the end, he still has to admit that bullshit abilities are nothing but luck.
Well, I first encountered the miracle of Millwall, witnessed it from beginning to end, and built up the internal relationship of the Wild Lion. Only then did I have a golden job. I have a status and energy that can be envied by newcomers in the industry.
Richard turned to look at Thomson, who was frowning and writing quickly. He was really like a model learner. Every time they met, he could be seen writing down something. It was just press releases that appeared in newspapers. To be honest,
Richard didn't think it was valuable.
In the past eight years, he has always felt that it was right for him and Thomson to swap employers and work for the "Sun". Entertaining the public is the first priority, but Thomson has a decent style similar to that of a scholar, and is unwilling to pay for dirty tricks.
According to the writings, it was Richard who was not scrupulous about meat and vegetables. Sometimes he would write a sensational article for his superiors, but he would be rejected outright and would be lectured as to why the "Daily Mail" should have journalists.
The bottom line of professional ethics is this.
But if he really wants to change his club, Richard is not happy, and the loss will be too great. Because the biggest financial backer is Millwall. What is really needed is a mouthpiece collaborator with integrity, like "The Sun" who has no bottom line.
Although the media will occasionally cooperate and cooperate, they must take more precautions and may collapse one day.
"How come you haven't figured out one thing after all these years?"
Thomson suddenly heard Richard's words and turned around with a puzzled look on his face.
Richard curled his lips in the direction of David Miller and asked, "Can you see the game more clearly than him?"
Thomson's hand holding the pen was a little stiff.
Richard glanced at Jennings again and asked: "Can you understand the overall development trend of England and Germany better than him?"
Thomson threw away the pen and was hit hard. He refused to accept it.
Not to mention David Miller's professional vision for analyzing specific games, he could not match him. Even his colleague Howard, who was sitting next to him, felt inferior to him. And the BBC's Jennings, although he rarely gave analysis on a game, he was
The fluctuation of the team's comprehensive strength has a unique and sharp insight.
If you want to know who lost where and who won where in a game, David Miller's masterpiece will give you a feeling of enlightenment.
But when it comes to saying whether a team is strong or weak, why it is strong, and why it is weak, Jennings has the foresight to see the small things and see the big things from the small, and the ability to be wise after the fact. Others are really at a disadvantage.
Thomson glared at Richard fiercely and asked, "How are you better than them?"
Richard shrugged shamelessly: "Of course I'm not as good as them. Over the years, have you seen me writing press releases in the same way as them? To be honest, whether it's the flash of swords and shadows on the football field or the undercurrents,
, I couldn’t understand it at all, I could just see who scored the goal and who was the most outstanding person in the game.”
Thomson wanted to make some sarcastic remarks to the other party, but he opened his mouth and turned it into a sigh.
The other party is self-aware.
The pearls and jade are in front of you, so why bother to humiliate yourself?
Furthermore, majors are majors. Football itself is a comprehensive entertainment sport. Professional opinions are not actually of concern to the public. It is a niche field. Readers who read newspapers only want to know who won and who lost.
, which unknown kid becomes famous in one shot, which dark horse team becomes famous again, most people don't care how the hell you do it.
Therefore, Richard's reputation is not low. He is a reporter who breaks the news and breaks the news. He does not focus on the football competition itself. In his eyes, this World Cup final is actually a game of "Who's worth will rise?"
"Who will become the most watched person in Europe in the future" will win or lose? He can just cheer for England.
But in the hearts of reporters, who are worried about the world being in chaos, if they don’t have a sense of national honor, they really hope that England will fail. This is why the news hype behind it is so lively.
With his mind at ease, Richard thought of the breaking news that was brewing.
"Have you noticed something is wrong with Millwall recently?"
Thomson thought for a while and said: "It's very quiet, eerily quiet, but there's a World Cup, so it's hard to say."
"Ha, what's not to say? Millwall's tradition is that the main players in the team renew their contracts every two years. If they don't sign, then get out. But tomorrow is July, and the transfer door is open. Millwall's renewal
Is it weird that none of the work appointments have been finalized? This is clearly a sign that the storm is about to come."
Thomson looked surprised. If he thought about it carefully, it was true. Although the World Cup was going on and Millwall's entire coaching team was in Asia, it was reasonable for some work to be delayed.
But in the final analysis, player contract renewal is all about money. The club pays for it. The players want money. It’s that simple.
Millwall has money. Aldridge is not stingy. Even though Millwall's maximum salary is not high, but including bonuses, especially loyalty bonuses, Millwall's veteran ministers can only stay 1/3 in a season.
If you play more than 3 games, you can basically get a salary at the top level in Europe.
Renew the contract and get another raise? In line with the general trend. How much did Millwall earn after winning 7 crowns last season?
As expected, after the new statistics from Germany are released, Millwall will be the leader of football wealth.
Normally, if a player does not renew his contract, it will lead to suspicion of transfer.
But is Millwall going to undergo a purge this time?
Nedvěd, who is recovering from injury, did not come to the World Cup. Why not renew his contract to encourage people?
Henry went home early. Why not sign a contract to restore his lost popularity? At least he can appear in the media news, and it is positive news such as continuing to fight for the Mad Lions.
For other players, Larsson threatened to retire from the national team. He was retained by all parties because of his feelings for the Lions. Isn't it worth the club giving him another contract to allow him to retire in peace while using his remaining talents?
It's okay to be like Ronaldinho. After all, he shined in the World Cup. Negotiations on new contracts should be slower. A rising tide lifts all boats. If the contract is renewed, it will definitely be a big deal.
One thing after another, coupled with the fact that Millwall's recruitment work is still on the same track, but four main players have been let go, there is indeed a sign of an impending storm in the strange calm.
"Damn it, isn't it the Hall family who wants to sell the club?"
Thomson blurted out, which frightened Richard. After all, Richard did not dare to think boldly.
Jennings, who was sitting next to Richard, turned around and said with a smile: "Not to mention the influence of the Hall family in East London and the efforts they have made in investment and management over the years, don't you know that Aldrich Hall is back?
Will the UK be knighted? What did he rely on to be knighted? It's not just football. If he sells Millwall, even if he is knighted, he may lose tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop.
Worshiping has come to the end that many people have blamed. There is no doubt that the Hall family withdrew their investment from Millwall. Within 5 years, Millwall was at best a mid-range team in England. It might not be as miserable as Nottingham Forest, but Odry
The brilliance achieved by Chi-Hall in the past eight years will be worn away bit by bit, and the unrivaled mad lion will only exist in memory."
Richard came back to his senses, weighed the pros and cons, and nodded: "Yes, the Hall family is half of the Mad Lion brand, both in terms of business operations and Aldrich Hall's personal charm. So this time the Mad Lion is weird
What will be the club’s operating status? Is it possible?”
Zhan Ning Si asked in reply: "You just asked him, didn't you just want more people to support your guess? What? Are you afraid to admit it or don't want to say it out loud?"
Richard nodded and said: "The compromise is that the Hall family will not sell the club. Aldrich Hall will delegate power to the owner and the coach. The only one he can let go of is the coach. Alas, he doesn't want to admit it is true. The Premier League does not have him."
, European football may have more suspense without him, but Millwall, which has won the championship twice undefeated in 3 years, may never be able to see it again. The mad lion sweeping everything on the top stage of Europe, will it really leave memories?
Is it done?"
Richard's voice became softer and softer as he spoke. He followed Millwall for eight years to support his family, but he also had the purest love and fanaticism.
Thomson was in a daze, and he didn't dare to think about how much less exciting the Continental Football Team would be without Aldridge, who was at the forefront of the Premier League, and without the young coach whom all the powerful players in Europe regarded as a powerful rival.
Jennings sighed: "What were you doing when you were 18? Where were you when you were 26? You can give yourself a holiday at any time. If you are unhappy and skip work, you will only be deducted some wages. You can chase girls like crazy.
He travels around and does whatever he wants, but what about Aldrich Hall? Doesn’t he ever want to indulge? Of course he does, as long as
However, in the past eight years, despite his glory, he has always been within a limited framework. Millwall's seven crowns and the final game of the World Cup final. Whether he wins the championship or not, he has already stood at the pinnacle of football coaching achievements.
Winning the World Cup, eight championships in 300 days is unprecedented. Without the World Cup, there is a shortcoming, and he still doesn't have to be persistent."
Richard and Thomson were silent. Don't they understand this? Just like Millwall's rival clubs, the wealthy owners will also laugh at Aldridge in private. Isn't the reason that he lives too tired?
With that kind of family fortune, just use football as a toy. Even if you don't squander it, just play it carefully. Why bother doing this job that may cause a heart attack?
Jennings turned his head and continued to watch the game, but said in his heart: Aldrich Hall, not talking about the whole world, not talking about the whole of the UK, just talking about the 300,000 Lions fans in East London, can you let it go? Who else can you let go except you?
Can he really hold on to the Mad Lion’s empire?
Richard wanted to change the topic and change his mood, so he asked Jennings: "Who has the upper hand in the scene?"
Jennings relayed the original words to David Miller, who said with a dull expression: "The German team's offense is weak, and the only unique trick has been figured out by Aldrich. From a technical and tactical point of view,
England is impeccable, and Germany's steady counterattack poses no threat. England has a great chance of winning, but there is only one Kahn in Germany."
Kahn?
Kahn!
The game only lasted for more than 20 minutes. The expression of German team coach Voller and Furui remained unchanged, but his heart was extremely helpless.
The only surprise move of the German team in this game is not pinned on Schneider, because Schneider's technical ability is quite outstanding. Using him as a breakthrough point, the England team can't think of an attack point that is too obvious, and it is difficult to create a miracle.
.
Even if he is as strong as Ronaldinho, he still needs to interact with his teammates. However, the only one with the best personal ability in the German team is Schneider.
So Schneider was a feint attack, just used to attract troops. The one who really expected to have a fatal impact on the England team was on the other side, Bremen's legendary Bode, this versatile frontcourt player was placed in the center today.
On the left side of the field, Worrell expected him to be a dagger that would kill England unexpectedly. Even Neuville and Klose had to cover for it.
It's a pity that England seems to have seen through the deployment of the German team. Schneider is defending on one side, and Bode is attacking on the other side. One loosening and one tightening, one defense and one attack. Schneider can't make a difference, and Bode is directly suppressed in the backcourt!
The German team's offense is weak. In addition to relying on luck with high balls, the ground penetration in the frontcourt is the limit of passing three balls.
Voller is unwilling to give in. Such a German team has reached the finals, but there is no hope of winning the championship. I really can’t imagine how disappointing it would be if they met the Brazilian team! (To be continued, please search
