Six Hundred and Twentieth IX The Eve of the Decisive Battle

ps: I don’t know if it’s because of the expansion of the European Cup. I always feel that the European Cup qualifiers are not popular, and the slightly stronger teams are a little bit of peace of mind. Platini’s reforms, changes, the Champions League, the European Cup, are all It is moving towards the path of civilians. Does European football also need to be down-to-earth?

Thank you "Thieves" for your reward!

Millwall's three battles with Leeds United came to an end. The total score of 14:1 made Leeds United a laughing stock in football.

There are losses and gains, O'Reilly fell to the altar, he stepped on Aldridge and was promoted to the altar two years ago, the fifth place in the Premier League is not enough to make him special, but in that season, Leeds United won one A tie with Millwall, O'Reilly's scenery is infinite, that is, Millwall and Aldridge, who have just won the Champions League, serve as the background.

A year later, Leeds United went one step further in the league, finished fourth in the league, entered the Champions League, and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in the same season.

Another year later, Leeds United reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and entered the semi-finals in the European arena for two consecutive years. It can be called the peak moment of Leeds United. Back to the original shape, even marked with a brand of 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 upset Millwall, and he led the team to beat Leeds United by a big score, and he will not get much praise from the outside world. , the reputation loss for him and Millwall is too great.

There is no way, this is the normal state of football, Aldridge has made a name for himself, no matter how many small fish and shrimps are killed now, it is only natural. On the contrary, it has become a stepping stone for others to achieve success.

The wild lion's journey continues. Aldrich's life is still going on step by step.

The penultimate round of the Premier League. Millwall will leave for Manchester, and the preparation work has been done during the day. When he returns home at night, Aldrich has a meal and a shower, and then he has to plunge into the study to work overtime.

Either don't do it, do it as best you can.

As the coach of the England national team, it has become a habit for him to work overtime at home.

Regularly following up and observing the performance of England internationals is more than just looking at scouting reports. The specific performance of the players, the ups and downs of the state, whether they have played unexpected effects in the club due to playing a new position, or under the new tactics of the coach, etc.

It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening, and Aldridge was still watching Hargreaves' game video at Bayern Munich, making self-judgment based on the scouting report, and recording the summary with a notebook in his hand.

Certain England internationals, he does not count on the future,

Like Bart, Husky. Phil Neville, they have all passed the most critical stage of player growth. The younger players, who are more malleable, are the focus of Aldridge's concern. He still has the national team recommendation list at hand, and there is a name on it that Aldridge has been paying attention to recently: John Terry.

Terry was lucky. At the age when he needed a top position most, he met the opportunity when Chelsea's money was shrinking and he could only tap the potential internally. There was also a kind-hearted Ranieri who patiently trained 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 about qualifying. Even if he is close, he will play the play-offs and he will be sure to pass after 180 minutes.

The World Cup is still more than a year away. After all, Terry will be a figure worthy of the Three Lions for many years in the future. Going to see the big scene early is good for his growth. Aldridge decided to call up for the first time in the national team friendly match in June Terry, as for the final squad for the World Cup, it is 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 the corners of his mouth slightly raised, waiting for that When "little lion" came to hide beside the desk, he suddenly poked his head over and yelled.

"Wow!"

Burt, who was wearing a lion-shaped one-piece pajamas, was startled, and leaned back, knocking Earl, who was wearing kangaroo pajamas, to the ground.

Seeing his two sons fall to the ground, Aldrich immediately got up and walked over, fearing that they would hurt from the fall, but the two little guys got up on their own as if nothing happened, and threw themselves into Aldrich's arms In the middle, Aldrich sat down and let them sit on his lap.

"why do not you sleep?"

Aldridge smiled and pressed his forehead against Bert's forehead, and Bert also pressed Aldrich's forehead hard, saying: "Sleep."

The child spoke in a childish voice, and Aldridge listened to it with a sweet voice, like the sound of nature.

"Huh? Lying is bad."

"Slept, um, slept, 10 minutes, no, 20 minutes."

Earl, sitting on Aldridge's left lap, defended his brother.

Aldrich smiled even more.

This is obviously not asleep.

"Then why are you awake again?"

Earl pulled a book out of the belly pocket of his kangaroo pajamas and showed it to Aldridge.

It turned out that they wanted to hear a story.

Aldridge turned off the computer and TV in the study, closed the notebook and put away, then carried his two sons back to their bedroom, let them lie under the quilt, took the bedtime reading book by himself, and gave them Telling stories, deliberately softening the voice, with a certain hypnotic effect, this trick, he learned from Ms. Rowling.

After about half an hour, Aldridge shut his mouth completely, sat quietly by the bed to make sure that the two little ones had fallen asleep, then got up and put the book on the bed, bent down to pull the quilt for them, and They kissed each other on the forehead, and finally walked away gently.

"In 67 minutes, Millwall sealed the victory with a corner kick. 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 of the home team fans in the stands was dead, and today's stadium attendance is not optimistic.

Manchester City's relegation was confirmed after losing to Manchester United in the Old Trafford derby in the last game.

There is no fighting spirit at home in this game, and the players on the field are probably thinking about their future for next season.

Millwall did not, as expected by the outside world, come up with a fight to the death at the last moment of the championship. It was just a normal play today. The players don't see any impatience or mental aggression. Playing smoothly, the game was sealed in 67 minutes.

Aldridge made substitution adjustments on the sidelines and let Pirlo and Larson off the court to rest. He high-fived with them, smiling and relaxed.

Ferguson was very quiet before the start of this round of the league, and it was not easy for him to express his position or exert pressure.

Does Manchester United need to rely on Manchester City's help for the championship?

What a joke, it would be nice if Manchester City didn't help. In the last round, Manchester United relegated their rivals in the same city. What can Ferguson expect from Manchester City?

In the parallel game, United took on Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.

Ferguson sat on the visiting team coach's bench with a long face. The scoreboard was 0:2. Manchester United led by two goals, but Ferguson was not happy at all.

In the past few years, Millwall has been unbelievably fierce in the final stage. Such an outbreak is very terrifying.

This is the effect of Millwall's habit of harvesting trophies in May. The players work hard together, then win and celebrate. Going on vacation happily has formed a virtuous pattern.

The live camera frequently locked on Ferguson. Seeing his somewhat pathetic expression, the narrator deeply sympathized.

"If there is no accident, Manchester United will win this game, and their points will reach 88 points. This is another new record for Manchester United since the Premier League, as of 36 rounds, but Millwall should also win today. Millwall Wall has 89 points, which is 1 point higher than Manchester United. Looking at the points, Millwall is less than last season, and Manchester United is more than last season, but Millwall still suppresses Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson has not yet conceded defeat, but the situation is changing. It's getting worse for Manchester United. It's hard to blame Manchester United for not working 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 replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy in the second half of the season. Yorke was the right decision. The Dutchman proved himself with one goal after another. Ferguson may be regretting it. Why didn’t he use Ruud Ruud earlier? He wasted too much patience on Yorke and finally made up his mind after being disappointed again and again. Determined to put the hero who won the Champions League in 1999 into limbo."

Ferguson was dissatisfied.

Why?

Millwall prepared for the game last summer by traveling to Asia to collect money. Manchester United prepared more actively and seriously than the other side. Millwall had the negative impact of Nedved’s absence for half a season, and Gattuso and Matra during the period. The unexpected incident of Qi red card suspension for multiple games, Manchester United is absolutely serious and meticulous in this season's league. There are no big mistakes, and occasionally small mistakes are unavoidable, but just looking at the points, there are more than last season, which is enough to prove that he is still Pushing the limits.

Millwall won the championship with 100 points last season. This season will certainly not break the record of last season, but the points are estimated to be not much different, only three or four games.

Looking back on this season, if they lost to Millwall in the end, Ferguson believes that the only reason for the loss is that Manchester United is not as quiet and united as Millwall.

Since the season when York won the Champions League, he has appeared in the headlines of entertainment pages much more frequently than football news. Ferguson gave him one chance, two chances, countless chances, and finally couldn't bear York's one foot. The third edition of the girls' romantic soap opera, and York's performance on the court is going from bad to worse. There is no doubt that flirting and flirting with women outside the court consume too much energy.

well!

Seeing that the game was coming to an end and Manchester United would score the three points, Ferguson let out a long sigh.

If Ruud Ruud was trusted from the beginning of the season and let Ruud Ruud directly replace York, then this season will not be the passive situation it is now.

At the same time, in the first half of Manchester United's league, there was a troublemaker in the dressing room, which also had a certain negative impact on Manchester United's internal military spirit.

This troublemaker is the Australian goalkeeper Bosnich. Ever since Bosnich was arrested at a nightclub carnival and assaulted reporters on the eve of his wedding, Ferguson rushed to the police station to release him on bail and lost all face. Was rejected by Ferguson.

After being abandoned, Bosnich showed a very "manly" side, and he became a bomb in the Manchester United dressing room, especially because he and Yorke had a similar taste, and also detonated a negative scandal. Bosnich, Yorke, In addition, an unknown man, two girls, and a group of 5 selfies were taken by reporters and spread all over the streets.

On January 1 this year, Bosnich wrote down 5 things to do in the new year in his diary.

First, bravely fight against Ferguson's gang of Manchester United!

Second, regain the main position in Manchester United!

Third, let everyone see how powerful I am!

Fourth, let York share Jordan with me.

Fifth, if the above four things cannot be done, I will spend my career at Old Trafford!

Bosnich made the Manchester United dressing room a mess, and none of his New Year's wishes came true. Only half a month later, Ferguson sent him to Chelsea for free

Thinking of what happened in the locker room this season, Ferguson was so old, but he wanted to cry but had no tears.

He obviously has the opportunity to seize the initiative in the championship, but there is mouse shit to ruin his dominance!

On the other hand, although Millwall has experienced several twists and turns this season, there are no problems affecting the morale of the army in the locker room. Aldridge has always been quick to cut the mess with internal affairs. After Pagliuca joined, Keller declared that he would not accept the third The treatment of the goalkeeper, within ten days, he was silent, because Aldridge not only let him go, but also amicably terminated the contract in the summer, so that Keller can freely choose a new club, and his free body can be exchanged for a lot of money. Aldrich thought of his hard work for many years, so the transfer fee capped at two million pounds at best is not necessary, as long as Keller spends this half of the season quietly, after all, Bout is injured, Pagliuca In case of an accident, someone still needs to be on top.

Ferguson is also thinking, is it because Aldridge is the boss and he is just the coach, so in dealing with the internal issues of the locker room, Aldridge is more neat and easy than him. (to be continued...) ()
