"Through the wind, through the rain, your dreams may be shattered, but moving forward with the hope in your heart, you will never walk alone, you will never walk alone..."
Even though British football hooligans are notorious, it is undeniable that there are people who imitate English fans all over the world, because there are fans here who interpret their loyalty with actions. Even if English football is in decline, there are still fans here who are loyal to the team.
Fans who live and die together.
The stands in all directions of Anfield were awash in red. Fans held up Liverpool scarves and sang the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" loudly.
In Aldridge's previous life, he watched a Liverpool game on TV. The Chinese commentator said that the name of the song was "You Will Never Go Alone". Although the meaning was similar, the artistic conception seemed to be very different.
, Never walking alone means always being with you, and never walking alone is somewhat unsatisfactory. For this reason, he thought that the commentator's level was very poor.
When he walked out of the tunnel, he did not go to the visiting team's coaching bench, but stood on the sideline parallel to the center line of the stadium. That was where the fourth official should have stood, but he stood here first, with his hands on his hips and a serious look on his face.
He looked around the stadium, as if he wanted to see every fan holding their scarves high and singing in their eyes.
"Where's the camera? Where's the damn camera? Point it at him! He's here! F--uck, Rudd, if you don't turn the camera on Hall within ten seconds, you won't be coming to work tomorrow!"
In the studio of the live broadcast, the director of Sky TV roared angrily. He could overlook Aldrich's appearance from the box, but the camera could not catch up.
The commentators Andy Gray and Martin Taylor have not yet started working, but they are looking at Aldridge in the camera and trying to understand his perspective from all angles.
"Martin, what is he doing?"
"I guess he's feeling the atmosphere here."
"Maybe, this is not Old Trafford, this is Anfield. I hope he won't be frightened again. There are no female fans here who can give kisses, only hostile fans who are like fighters."
"I don't think so. It's probably his first time here. This is a game worthy of his memory."
"How do you think Millwall will perform today? I mean, what goal will they have? A draw, or a victory? It can't be to give away three points anyway."
"Of course it's victory. Aldridge needs victory to motivate his players. Otherwise, why would so many young guys in the team listen to him? He is so young, and all he can give is victory. This will make the players desperate.
Follow him!"
...
Melanie's family was also in the stands. Like other fans, they held their scarves high and sang. When the song ended, the applause broke out and lasted for a long time.
Melanie's brother pointed at Aldrich on the sidelines and laughed loudly: "Sister, your boyfriend is scared to death!"
Melanie pursed her lips and smiled: "Let him see the power of Liverpool, he will be scared to death! Haha."
Fanatic shouts rang out from the Kop stands, and on the other side, Millwall fans from afar were also huddled together, clapping and chanting Millwall's name, although this was not an equal match of energy.
contest, but neither side has ever stopped, and the war in the stands never ends.
Aldridge, who was on the sidelines, took a deep breath after looking over Anfield, closed his eyes for a few seconds, then opened them again, showing a smile.
Anfield, I'm finally here!
We don’t come here to visit as a fan, but we come here to fight as a coach!
Great stadium, great stage, hotbed of great games!
With respect for the ancestors, Aldridge slowly walked towards the visiting team's coaching bench.
Once, when Wimbledon was a guest here, every player would spit on the "This is Anfield" sign in the Anfield tunnel to show contempt. Aldridge was very disgusted with such behavior.
Although football can do whatever it takes, it has its own bottom line.
He will encourage the players to fight openly and let them understand that winning here is an honor, rather than deceiving themselves and belittling this field, which will only make the victory worthless.
Moreover, the founder of that brand was a great figure in the history of the Red Army: Bill Shankly.
Maybe many neutral fans know this name because of the famous saying: Football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death.
This is completely wrong. Bill Shankly has never said this. His original words in an interview were: Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with this attitude. I
Definitely football is more important than life and death.
In fact, based on the context and interview questions, Shankly only expressed a positive attitude towards victory, rather than being misinterpreted and spread widely to become a cold-blooded indifference to life.
Bill Shankly created the soul of the Red Army. His philosophy of victory was gentlemanly. He would use various psychological warfare. For example, when the away team came to Anfield, he would personally wait in front of the bus and then greet the opponent in a high-profile manner.
This was used to put psychological pressure on the opponent, but his bottom line was also very clear and he could not tolerate dirty tricks on the court. Therefore, one of Shankly's most hated coaches was the founder of Inter Milan in the international era, Eduardo Eduard.
Leila.
Shankly created the tradition of the Liverpool boot room and created a team of kings, just like himself, simple, passionate, strong, happy, and more or less romantic.
In the process of studying in the past, Aldrich had great respect for Shankly. He even believed that if he could go back to the 1960s, he would be in a dilemma, whether to be impressed by the Busby boys or to bow down to him.
Under the charm of Xiangshuai, if you consider yourself a British fan, it is impossible to like Manchester United and Liverpool at the same time.
The appearance of players from both sides brought Aldridge back to reality from his meditation. He looked at the group of Liverpool players with a bit of envy in his eyes, because there were many talented players among these players.
The popularity of 22-year-old Jack Redknapp even surpassed Manchester United's Paul Scholes at this time, because at this time, the young Redknapp had already been selected for the England national team.
23-year-old Steve McManaman, if it weren't for injuries, why would England regret that Giggs is Welsh?
20-year-old Robbie Fowler, the "God" of Liverpool, the young and famous Liverpool golden boy, squeezed Ian Rush on the bench.
Although goalkeeper David James is not up to world-class standards, if he can become England's national goalkeeper in the future, at least his strength must be affirmed.
What makes Aldridge sigh is that Liverpool also has a figure from Millwall's youth training, left back Neil Ruddock. This player who looks a bit fat has entered the Millwall youth team at the age of 15.
He was poached as soon as he became famous at the age of 18. He returned to Millwall for a short period of time a few years ago and is still in his prime now.
Aldridge quickly withdrew his gaze. He was lucky to gain and lost his life. There is no end to envy of others. He just felt a little regretful. Liverpool, as one of the three traditional giants in England, is a typical example of rigidity and stubbornness. Even East London's
When West Ham United began to introduce modern sports medicine to ensure the health of their players, Liverpool always remained skeptical and resistant to advanced medical treatment. How much did this ruin their hopes?
It’s just that the current group of people on the field, Jamie Redknapp, Robbie Fowler, Rob Jones who retired at the age of 27, etc., do not blame the club for not taking good care of the players when the players are injured, but for future generations.
Players of this generation have revealed the poor quality of Liverpool FC’s team doctors. Even Redknapp was misdiagnosed and trained and played with a fractured foot for a long time. Then, it turned from a minor injury that could be solved with an operation into a comminuted fracture.
Moreover, there is another fatal factor in Liverpool's inability to return to its peak. The Red Army under Shankly was very disciplined, and so was Ferguson during this period. Lee Sharp was willing to fall. If Ferguson couldn't save him, then sell him away.
, to avoid bringing down other players, but what about Liverpool? Their group of geniuses have a nickname: Hot Brother. This nickname comes from their private life off the field.
There are two major enemies in a player's career, one is injury and the other is degradation.
Liverpool has both of these things, so don't complain about why the team always has talents but cannot win the top league championship.
Therefore, Aldridge's team-building concept must avoid the obstruction of these two enemies, an advanced medical department, strict discipline within the team, and three captains who are strict in their off-field life. Even Materazzi, the fourth
Captain, he is a bad guy on the court but a good gentleman off the court.
Players from both sides set up their positions and prepared for kick-off.
"Dear viewers, in the third round of the English Premier League, we will live broadcast a focus event of this round for you at Anfield. The Red Army Liverpool will face the visiting Millwall. Maybe Millwall is not a team in our impression.
A strong team, but Millwall, who are playing in the Premier League for the first time this season, have already shown good combat effectiveness. They first played a thrilling 5:5 away game with Manchester United, and then easily defeated their Derby opponents at home in the last round.
Arsenal has shown great strength."
"Before the season, many football critics believed that Millwall was a relegation team and were worried about the time it would take for Millwall to adapt to the Premier League. However, Aldridge's team shattered all doubts in two games. Millwall
They are a strong team, there is no doubt about it, but it is Liverpool who is worrying. In the first round, they only defeated the underdog Sheffield Wednesday by a single goal, but lost to Leeds United in the second round. Today at Anfield, they can win against the Lions.
? After the ninety-minute game, I hope it won’t be an unexpected ending.”
"Introducing the starting lineups of both sides, Millwall's starting lineup is the same as the previous two games, there is no change...Liverpool's starting lineup is goalkeeper: David James, defender: Rob Jones, Mark -
Wright, John Scales, Neil Ruddock, Midfielder: Jason McAteer, John Barnes, Jamie Redknapp, Steve McMana
Man, forwards: Robbie Fowler, Stan Collymore. I don’t know if the 32-year-old veteran Wright in their defense will become Millwall’s main attack point, because Bruce was eliminated in the first game against Manchester United.
Millwall made a lot of mistakes, and Collymore, who was hired from Nottingham Forest in the summer, did not get into form quickly. He scored 24 goals at Nottingham Forest last season, but when he came to Liverpool, he seemed to have no relationship with Fowler.
It is Millwall's forward line that can create sparks, but people are even more excited about it. Larsson, who scored four goals in two games, is undoubtedly a contender for the Premier League Golden Boot this season. Manchester United failed to take away the seven million pounds.
He, if Larsson can produce outstanding statistics this season, his value will rise. The topic is a bit far away. Okay, Liverpool's Fowler has kicked off. Audiences, the game has begun. Let us enjoy the next step.
Let’s have a red and blue battle!”
