The Young Lion

After the game, Aldridge walked into the locker room. After 90 minutes of intense competition, the players had just returned to the locker room to prepare for a shower to change their clothes. They sat down and talked and laughed while taking off their shoes and clothes.

When talented players are placed in a tactic that is extremely creative and has good results in practice, they will enjoy the game themselves and will continue to be excited even after the game.

Before Aldridge walked in, they were making fun of each other, who wasted a single shot, who had a golden chance to shoot outrageously, and who made a small mistake in the game.

After Aldridge walked into the locker room, everyone closed their mouths and looked at him with a smile. Perhaps they wanted a few words of praise.

Aldridge stood by the door with his hands in his pockets, and indeed praised them first, then he said lightly: "Remember, today is just the beginning, you have not met my requirements, I hope you never have an idea: today After scoring a lot of goals, it should be the best? It’s okay to continue this performance in the next game. No, this idea must be put an end, you have to tell yourself: today’s performance is good, but I can do more Good! There is nothing to be proud of beating Liverpool. At least 7 teams in the league have beaten Liverpool this season. What we are after is not to beat a team and win a championship, but to play for less than a year In a one-year career, leave your glory on the green field, create your own history, let the latecomers talk about Millwall, talk about this year, talk about next year, will relish the team at that time Who owns, remember, you have the ability to make history, we can rule together, yes, rule, rule European football!"

The locker room was silent, and the players stared at Aldridge for a long while. Ronaldinho asked: "Boss, what is your goal? I mean, the coaching club you have got the highest honor, the limit you pursue is what?"

Aldrich didn't change his face and said indifferently: "My goal? There is only one. I want to let the tomb of Millwall's mad lion cover the entire continent. The dark blue of the mad lion covers the European sky, and Millwall's name resounds in the world. In fact, no matter what my goal is, I have to pin it on you. It is you who help me achieve all of this. If you do not want to help me, please tell me in advance."

After talking, Aldridge turned to open the locker door, and behind him came Ronaldinho's excited cry.

"Boss! I will help you achieve all your goals!"

Aldridge left straight, the players could not see his expression. At that moment, his mouth was raised, and his expression was both gratifying and moving. No matter how ambitious a coach is, no matter how ambitious the ambition, he must rely on it. To achieve good players, Aldridge does not think he has any skills, he just hopes that the players under his account can at least reach the heights in the original history, don't hit them in his hands, otherwise he will regret for life.

After the press conference, Millwall's victory was naturally the focus.

Fleet Street appreciates Millwall's gorgeous offense in this game.

However, there are also criticisms, asking Audridge why Millwall's performance before and after the difference is so huge, one against Manchester United, one against Liverpool, Millwall's attack group, when playing Manchester United is inaction, but playing Liverpool is prosperous.

"Comparing the number of goals scored by Manchester United and Liverpool in the league, it should be understood why Millwall's performance will be different. Both offensive and defensive are stronger than Liverpool. The offensive is strong. Our defensive pressure is large. There are fewer opportunities, the defense is strong, our attack formation is cut, and the team’s tacit understanding is higher. This is the reason. You can’t ask a team to play the same stats when facing two teams with a difference in strength. ."

The victory at Anfield has greatly improved the team’s confidence, because they are trying new tactics, weakening the full-back assists, and relying on the five-player attack group in the frontcourt, which can play a good effect and prove the correctness of the tactics. It's an inspiration to the players and an affirmation to the coaching ability.

Next, before the Champions League reignite in March, Millwall's performance in the league is getting better and better.

Round 23, Millwall 5:1 Thanks Wednesday

Round 24, Wimbledon 0:2 Millwall

Round 25, Millwall 3: 0 Nottingham Forest

Round 26, Millwall 2: Middlesbrough

Round 27, Millwall 1:1 Blackburn

Round 28, Southampton 1: 4 Millwall

Round 29, Tottenham 2: 4 Millwall

In a game without a strong dialogue, Millwall’s new generation of attack groups began to take shape gradually. Counting their victory against Liverpool, they won 7 wins and 1 draw in 8 league games, averaging 3 goals per game. The firepower shocked England.

And the good momentum of this wave made Millwall reach the top of the standings, and after leaving behind Manchester United 4 points, Arsenal 6 points, Chelsea 8 points.

All came out of the FA Cup and sang forward. All third-line operations still maintained the hope of winning the championship.

Millwall's rapid momentum has made them the focus of all Europe, and the scouts of the giants frequently appear in the stands of their games, trying to observe their players up close.

The magical mad lion on the River Thames attracted the attention of many European teams. Fleet Street swept over Millwall and defended the European defending European Champions Cup.

They seemed unstoppable, and there was no line of defense they could not break.

The first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals was held at Wembley. Before the game, Audridge, who seemed to be proud of himself, attended the conference seriously.

In the past three months, Millwall has been held up from the inside out, and even he is no exception.

But he was low-key, because he knew Millwall did not encounter a real strong enemy, maybe Dynamo Kiev is a touchstone.

The atmosphere of the conference was very relaxed. As soon as Aldridge sat down, a reporter smiled and asked, "Will Dynamo Kiev cause trouble to Millwall?"

There is no doubt that Millwall is a big hit in the semifinals.

But this question really lacks respect for Dynamo Kiev, as if the other party is not worth mentioning.

Aldridge frowned: "Will a team that can beat the Ligue 1 and Premier League champions trouble Millwall? This question is stupid. The probability of promotion between Millwall and Dynamo Kiev It’s a fifty-five, and their chances of advancing to the semifinals are the same as ours."

The reporters shook their heads, feeling that Aldridge was too cautious.

"Millwall double-killed Dynamo Kyiv last season. So far this season, your condition is so good. If you think that Millwall and Dynamo Kyiv are at the same level, will it hurt Millwall itself? Morale?"

Aldridge confronted the reporter, saying: "Football games are never simply a comparison of strength, status, and you have to consider climate, venue, adaptation, and other issues, especially psychological impact. If Millwall is like As you said, you think you can easily step on Dynamo Kiev to advance, and then after 180 minutes, Millwall ends the Champions League tour."

Today's press conference Audridge and reporters broke up.

Not only Fleet Street, but other European media concerned about the game also thought that Aldridge was too low-key.

They believe that Millwall should take advantage of the recent momentum and should be stronger in its posture. Even if there is no good condition to support it, at least Millwall is the defending champion.

At dinner, Aldridge drove to a western restaurant in the city, Yiwen was waiting for him here early, Aldridge sat down and ordered a meal, then he was startled.

"What are you thinking?"

Yiwen asked with a smile on his chin.

Aldrich shook his head and said: "Nothing."

"Tell me, let me worry about you too."

Aldridge raised an eyebrow and said, "Work, it's the team's business."

"Millwall is very good lately. There is a voice saying that Millwall is the most gorgeous team in England and the most feared opponent of all the big players in Europe."

Yi Wen's eyes flickered, staring at Aldridge's eyes glowing inexplicably, as if Aldrich was covered with a magical aura.

Aldrich put a napkin in front of him and said lightly: "It's like studying in school. Usually, the small test can always get a high score. Before the big exam, I feel that there is no problem and I don't review the homework. When I found out that the test questions were completely unfamiliar, I was suddenly lost in my brain."

Yiwen Miaomu turned around and said, "Are you worried about the team underestimating the enemy?"

Aldrich nodded and said, "Mentality is actually the most important thing, but this is not something that the coach can change with just a few words. Now that I think about it, I hope that the game against Manchester United is within the last month."

There has been no strong enemy for almost three months in a row. In the case of Lien Chan and Lian Jie, the morale of the team is good, but if blind confidence is accumulated, it is a bad thing.

At the end of the dinner, Ewen suddenly said: "Chisholm is back to Liverpool, don't you go to visit her?"

Aldridge didn't answer, and his eyes were out of focus.

The news of Melanie's pregnancy has long been exposed. She herself admitted that she was pregnant in an interview. When asked about the child's father, she did not conceal it and revealed the name of Aldridge.

Originally, due to the working relationship between the two, the outside world was accustomed to the situation of gathering less and separating more, but she did not choose to settle in London but returned to Liverpool, which caused a lot of suspicion.

Aldridge was blocked by the paparazzi a few days ago and asked if she broke up with Melanie.

During the Cold War, neither of them claimed to break up.

Both he and Melanie are waiting for the other party to compromise.

But Aldridge's patience was almost worn out.

Aldridge likes to look at himself. After all, he has lived for decades and will not like to blame others when he has problems.

He has changed, and he has changed before. Maybe he has really compromised and achieved success. Even if he is not the head coach, he feels like a perfect husband. After changing his life, he may have gone to find Melanie.

But now, he can't do it, he can't do it at all.

Success and fame made him a special kind of arrogance.

Men, they are aggressive in their posture and like to take the initiative.

He will not compromise.

If it wasn't for considering the children, he had already decided to draw a line with Melanie.

His mood is very contradictory. When he closes his eyes before going to bed every day, he will imagine his future child. But when he thinks that the child may not have a complete family, he will feel inexplicably sad in his heart. Perhaps, he was an orphan in his previous life and wants to give himself Child complete family happiness.
