Chapter 1064: Sniper

In the past eleven years, there have been many players who have left Millwall. They have never played an important role in the first team. Even if the top-ranked substitutes are not counted, Millwall is still regarded as the "export" player of European clubs. Large households, there are too many names that are repeatedly mentioned on Fleet Street.
There is a phenomenon that is common in football.
If Millwall has had a weak forward line in two consecutive games, and the forward state seems to have declined, then the media will definitely mention some of Millwall’s old ministers in the news, such as Trezeguet, Shevchenko, or Fanny. The same situation will also appear in other positions. When Alonso is not performing well, people will always mention Pirlo. When Kaka is in a depressed state, people will also say that Millwall mistakenly left Lampard, the defender. The full-back, the only calm position, is the goalkeeper, but this position has always been what the outside world thinks that Millwall is inadequate.
The influence of the media's public opinion will naturally affect the fans subtlely. Even Millwall fans will occasionally miss the players who have left. Of course, Lampard and Fanny are the players who played in other teams in the Premier League. Belong to their nostalgia.
Therefore, when Aldrich decided to adopt Carter’s suggestion to engrave the meritorious players and the names of legendary players who pioneered the era of Millwall on the authentic Champions League trophy, there will definitely be many Millwall fans remembering Pirlo, Zambrotta, Gattuso, Materazzi, maybe Makelele will not be mentioned. After all, he left earlier, but it was also a hero of one of the three consecutive championships.
But the club does not engrave the names of these players on the trophy, it will inevitably cause some dissatisfaction of old fans.
There are always a lot of people who are nostalgic and miss the good things they once were.
In order to avoid, or appease the fans, reduce the negative impact of this matter, and do a better thing that should have a huge positive effect, Aldridge and Carter need to come up with a better solution.
Millwall cannot deny the past heroes.
Aldridge poured another glass of wine and took a sip slowly, thinking as he drank.
Carter came up with this proposal, and his thinking naturally turned quickly, so he said: "Uh, is that okay? We also have replicas of the Champions League trophy. For example, the replicas we got in 2000 and 2001 are replicas. What do you think of the player’s name inscribed on the copy?
Aldrich was thoughtful, and said after a while: "If this is the case, it will be a bit explicit. I mean, people with clear eyes can see that we are deliberately avoiding the fact that the meritorious players leave. However, this method you said , It can be improved."
Carter stalled: "Do you have any ideas?"
"In 1998, 2000, 2001, and 2004, these four years, the club won the Champions League, and all the replicas are retained. Then, we can engrave these trophies on the team's first team lineup of the season. Such a Come, when the players of the season will be remembered by future generations, when visitors visit, we can not only introduce through our exhibition content, but also review the season to know which players played for Millwall in those successful seasons, they can directly When visiting the trophy, you can see Millwall's first-team lineup on the trophy. After all, fans now visit, remembering it, and maybe you don't need to see it. Fans who understand Millwall can tell the ball of the season Team lineup, but what about ten years later? Twenty years later? As time goes by, old fans have ambiguous memories, or new fans want to understand Millwall's history, and the effect of doing so is highlighted."
Carter nodded his head after thinking for a while, then the two discussed some details, including the time to announce the time, some requirements for engraving the player’s name on the authentic Champions League trophy, and if the club won a second authentic Champions League trophy in the future, the players thought To leave your name on it, what standards need to be met.
Of course, these standards will have room for flexibility, such as requiring players to make more than 50 appearances for Millwall, so if the players only made 40 appearances, this should be accommodated.
Another example is to require players to play Millwall for more than 6 years, but if they only play for 5 years, then the standard should also be relaxed, measured according to player contribution and club status.
When the Devil's schedule arrived, Carter's proposal refreshed Aldridge's mood, as if there was a small charge.
In his efforts to build Millwall into a global detached football club giant, Aldridge was very happy to have such a partner on the side.
In mid-April, the first game of the Devil's Devil's schedule arrived.
Lion King Stadium.
The game has reached 70 minutes in the second half, and the scoreboard score is 1:1.
A lot of Millwall fans have already appeared nervous in the stands.
In the same round of games, Chelsea resolved the battle ahead of time and successfully scored 3 points at Old Trafford.
In the real-time standings, Chelsea only trailed Millwall by 1 point.
At this time, Millwall and Liverpool were still tied at home.
"Millwall had a lot of bad luck today. Liverpool's performance under Benitez has been pretty good this season, but it still can't shake the dominance of the top four teams in the Champions League seats. At the stage where the sprint is most needed, Liverpool is quite obvious. Subsequent weakness, which is also related to the thickness of their lineup. Today Benitez put out an iron bucket array on the road. It seems that in order to score 1 point at the Lion King Stadium, Millwall opened the attack by Liverpool. Owen With a successful supplementary shot, Millwall goalkeeper Bout's fault to save the shot again became the focus of the game. This may become a fatal mistake during the season. Millwall did not panic after losing the ball. They played steadily and finally equalized at the beginning of the second half. The score was bad, but they were still unlucky today. Carragher overturned Henry and was awarded a penalty kick. Ronaldinho kicked the penalty kick away. Henry also missed a close header chance. However, his heading ability seems to make people unable to criticize anything. C Ronaldo and Nedved's long shots hit the crossbar and the goal post respectively, which makes people wonder whether this is Millwall's home court. !"
Benitez sat expressionlessly on the visiting team's coach's bench, taking out small notebooks from time to time to take notes.
Aldridge didn’t know all the contents of Benitez’s notebook, even if he hadn’t peeped before working together, but he knew that Benitez would record the player’s mistakes in the notebook, and then even if the game won I will also discuss with the players the reasons for these mistakes, how to improve them, and often make the players crazy...
Liverpool are also very pragmatic today, to put it bluntly like the Chelsea one.
It's the Devil schedule for Millwall and the same for Liverpool.
Liverpool's fight for the top four hopes depends on the final sprint.
Benítez was unlucky. He drew with Chelsea in the 90-minute League Cup final and then lost to Mourinho.
The FA Cup is also out early, but the UEFA Cup has reached the semi-finals. Now Liverpool’s goal is also clearer. Whether the league can compete in the top four depends on the number of league games before the end of the month and cannot catch up with the previous ones. Manchester United, then shift the focus to the UEFA Cup.
Millwall advanced in the third line. At this critical moment, Audridge also saw through this game. It is difficult to say that it was all luck. Although the penalty scored, it will overtake the score. However, several times in front of the goal Opportunities are wasted. This is a problem for the players to play. Millwall wants to win all the loot in the third line, which is not realistic.
The pressure in the league itself is still very great, especially in the standings, since the first round of the season has suppressed Chelsea. If this time, it is overtaken by the other party, or if there is a 1 point 2 point overtake, Millwall’s mentality is Earthshaking changes will occur.
Aldridge walked coldly to the side of the court, his eyes glowing sharply.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea!
Chelsea is the final battle of the final battle month.
Before that, the top three traditional Premier League players want to snipe Millwall?
You guys, don't think it succeeds!
"Millwall made a substitution. We saw Villa prepare to play. Maybe he will replace Henry who missed two golden opportunities in this game. But at this time, the pressure on Villa may be unprecedented. !"
To the narrator's expectations, Villa played and the player he replaced was not Henry.
Aldridge did not make a substitution, he removed Tiago Silva, a central defender and replaced a forward!
Benitez's complexion changed slightly.
He is already a master of tactics. However, when the tactical environment he likes and is accustomed to is knowing oneself and the other, that is, studying the opponent thoroughly, and understanding all the changes of the opponent.
Aldridge's substitution does not fit Aldridge's style.
It is not that he will not withdraw the defender.
Instead, he rarely withdrew his defender and then increased his strength on the front so obviously.
Benitez was a bit troubled and didn't understand the intention of Aldridge's substitution?
Is it simply to increase the chance of scoring in the penalty area?
Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his arms akimbo. He didn't say a word, he had obvious wild style, not to disdain Liverpool, but to crush Liverpool!
Of course, he would not reveal the real killing trick so obviously. Before Villa played, the assistant Boas told Aldrich’s instructions after the play, and what was the focus of Millwall’s attack. .
Now, Millwall is four forwards and three midfielders.
If you want to be tied by Liverpool, then it is better to fight vigorously for the last 20 minutes. Liverpool has the guts and ambition to score 3 points here, then try it!
