Chapter 144: The foundation of a lifetime

It was originally a tie-breaker, but after the game, Fleet Street sang praises for Millwall.
What is the front page title of the Sun?
"The Triple Crown is close at hand, Millwall will create the greatest miracle in the history of English football! 》Other media have also analyzed Millwall's prospects for the championship, and believe that Millwall has become the number one favorite to win the championship!
The reason is simple. With the last four rounds left in the league, Millwall has the most goal difference. If they can win the last four games, they will undoubtedly win the Premier League championship. Trophy!
Millwall is now evenly tied with Manchester United and has 7 more goal difference than Manchester United.
3 points behind the leader Newcastle United, 13 goals more than Newcastle United!
Yes, in theory, as long as Millwall wins the last four league games, then they will become the Premier League champions, unless Manchester United can score 8 more goal difference than they are if they also win.
In the penultimate round of the league, Millwall will challenge Newcastle United as a guest, win the game, tie the points with Newcastle United, and then top the list.
Aldridge discovered with headaches that the players seemed to think they would win the Premier League title.
What a miracle is this?
The newly promoted horse won the championship, and there is a chance to win the FA Cup, plus the league cup already in hand.
Triple Crown!
Aldrich’s shortcomings of inexperience were exposed again.
He didn't know how to make a choice at this time.
Psychologically, he hopes that the team will remain calm and face the remaining four leagues with a normal heart, because only in this way can they play better, but he can't say this to the players, which will undoubtedly hurt morale.
He can only inspire the team.
The cup is a single game, the championship trophy is there, you win, it is yours.
But the league is different. Not only do you want to win, but you also have to stare at your competitors. Although it doesn't make sense, people are involuntarily distracted.
Millwall has a better goal difference than Manchester United, but who can guarantee that Manchester United will not go crazy in the last four games and score the number of goals against the sky?
The King of Cantona, Old Trafford, has been in a crazy state since February. Except for helping the team, everyone knows that he is fighting for another international competition for France at the age of thirty. The last train of the European Cup, because of that breath, made his play unbelievable.
The challenge before Aldridge is a choice. The FA Cup has reached the semi-finals, winning two games, winning the championship, and having four games in the league. There is a good chance of winning the championship.
In addition to encouraging the morale of the team, he cannot give any biased instructions to the players.
Play one game after another.
After the league ended, Aldridge received a call from Andrew. Sky TV had a talk show asking him to go. Aldridge considered it and decided to participate in the show. He also hoped to remind the team from the side and warn the outside world through interviews: The league is not over, Millwall is nothing, don’t push the championship trophy to us, all you give is fart!
The Sky TV program used to find some famous football players for interviews, to talk about the insights of the England game and to analyze the prospects of the game. Most of the recent issues have focused on the national team. After all, the European Cup held in the homeland is approaching.
Tonight, the host was changed temporarily, and Aldridge also knew that it was Jason Ferguson who worked on Sky TV.
In fact, the reason why Sky TV hired Jason is clear. Jason is Ferguson’s beloved son. Once he can get some latest news about Manchester United from his mouth. Second, he has a special status. Third, Jason knows his father. Whenever the Manchester United game is broadcast live, there will be Jason in the Sky TV workshop. He will know when Ferguson is angry and when he is smug. When the game situation changes, Jason will always remind the live camera The flight crew immediately aimed the lens at Ferguson and the timing was just right.
Before the show, the two met in the passage beside the stage.
"Long time no see, Aldridge."
Jason Ferguson politely reached out to Aldridge.
The two may only meet once or twice a year. They also nodded at some parties, but the other party had a good relationship with Andrew, and Aldridge also showed some enthusiasm to shake hands with him.
"Wait a minute, I might ask some embarrassing topics."
Ferguson gave Aldridge a vaccination ahead of time. Speaking of that, on this three-point acre in London, his social circle had to be mixed with Andrew's butt, and he could not offend Aldridge.
This is a job requirement. Many of the talk shows in Europe and the United States are impromptu. They are not afraid of guest ugliness, or the guests are embarrassed to have ratings.
The more able to anger or make guests off, the more interesting.
Aldrich understood this and nodded indifferently.
When the show started, Jason first walked to the stage. The stage was arranged like a living room, with two single sofas and a large screen behind. Jason stood in the center and introduced the guests today.
He is a 19-year-old football coach.
He has a handsome appearance.
He is also a charity supporter.
The team he led made all the Premier League coaches feel a headache.
Who is he?
The audience chanted in unison: Aldrich Hall.
At this time, Aldridge came to the stage with cheers and applause, smiling and shaking hands with Jason, and the two sat down on the sofa.
Jason first played a video on the big screen.
The video was edited. From last year’s first Aldridge command game to the recently concluded East London Derby, the video has nearly 10 minutes. There are countless footage of Aldridge volunteering on or off the court .
When the video ended, there was another round of applause.
"I really envy you, Aldridge, at least you are already the most popular star in the coaching profession."
Amid the laughter from the audience, Aldridge raised his eyebrows with a helpless smile.
Jason kept a smile and said, "Next we will discuss some topics about you. Can you promise to tell us the truth?"
Aldrich replied: "Is this a court? Do I need to swear on the Constitution?"
Laughing all over.
Jason said: "Of course not, but they and I want to hear the truth from your mouth, not show."
Aldridge nodded seriously and said: "Okay, if I am willing to say it, it must be true, but I do not want to answer questions, I will remain silent."
"Okay, first question, which team will become the Premier League champion this season?"
Aldridge blurted out: "I don't know."
"Why isn't your answer Millwall?"
"Because I am a pragmatic head coach, Newcastle United and Manchester United have an advantage over us. Newcastle United has room to make mistakes. Even if Manchester United wins, Newcastle United wins and draws three times. The champion is also Newcastle United. "
"What about Millwall?"
"I think many fans did not realize the fact that Millwall’s remaining four league games, each of which is a tough battle, the next round, we are going to play Chelsea, this is a derby between rivals. Then it is to relegate In the battle of Leeds United, they have successfully let Newcastle United take the lead. Then we will go to challenge Newcastle United away. Finally, we will play a London Derby. Although the opponent is QPR, it is a London Derby after all. Difficulty Very big, especially if they still have the hope of relegation in the final round, then that game will be very unpredictable. The schedule of Manchester United and Newcastle United is much easier than ours, so Millwall is not a champion ."
Jason said with a playful smile: "No one will doubt that the Premier League champions will be produced in the three teams of Newcastle United, Millwall and Manchester United this season, but the attitude of the three club coaches is really surprising, Kevin. Keegan said that Newcastle United will eventually win the championship, he is very firm. Alex Ferguson said Newcastle United has no championship life, the final competition is between Manchester United and Millwall. Aldrich Hall thinks Millwall is not popular. I think all three coaches are lying, what do you think?"
...
"Why did Beckham and Neville return to Manchester early last season?"
"I don't want to talk about this."
"If you can sign both of them, would you refuse?"
"No, they are excellent players and have great talents."
To this day, the media is still speculating on what happened in Millwall last year, leading Beckham and Neville to end the loan early and return to Manchester United.
This may only be revealed in the long-term future, when the insider is out of the autobiography.
"Are you satisfied with your team?"
"It’s too general to ask. I will only judge the player’s performance. I’m excellent. I’m satisfied. I’m bad. I will criticize the player. But satisfaction does not mean stopping improvement. For example, Trezeguet, he is very good. Talented forward, one of the future world-class forwards, but he is not yet, so I will praise him when he performs well, but in training, I will not allow him to be lazy for a minute, if I relax What he asked of him hurt him instead."
...
"Talk about the East London Derby. As a club owner, why do you do that? I think other coaches will definitely protect the fans."
"I am very grateful to the fans, but we must distinguish between two different groups, one is a fan and the other is a football hooligan."
"Are you saying that there are football hooligans in the Millwall fan community? Have you thought about the consequences of this remark?"
"I'm a sensible person, so I don't want to lie. As the outside world criticized, there are football hooligans in Millwall's stands! This is different from the fans who have always supported us. It is absolutely different. What are football hooligans? They don’t care about football at all. Most of them are frustrated in life. They have dissatisfaction and resentment in their hearts and want to vent, or they are violent advocates. They came to the court to find opportunities to provoke misfortune and then happily A fight. Two riots broke out after the East London Derby this season. People are only talking about the low quality of the fans of Millwall and West Ham United. I think this is unfair. Most fans are just for football hooligans. Blame. In the London police investigation report that I know, many of the main participants in the post-match riots were not fans of Millwall or West Ham United. They received a call the day before the game and ran to East London. It’s not a secret just to fight. I think the public also knows that there is a connection between football hooligan organizations. Where there is a fight, they will go wherever they go. This not only creates a bad influence, but also makes the real Mill Wall fans have been hurt, so, I think the culprit is football hooligan, Millwall club and fans are victims."
When Aldridge finished speaking, the audience was silent.
The topic of talking about football hooligans is relatively heavy, but as Millwall's boss and head coach, he cannot avoid this topic.
Are the fans soundly defended?
So what should I do when the next riot occurs?
Continue to protect?
Jason said unexpectedly: "How would you solve this problem?"
"I think this is not just how I do it, but the four aspects of the FA, the police, the club, and the fans working together. In fact, in the end, football is a part of life in England, on the stadium, in the stands, players or fans. The behavior reflects our own and social status. Why is East London known as the cradle of football hooligans? And why did Chelsea have racist extremist fan organizations 20 years ago? But now it has disappeared? It’s a social issue. Rogues are not born. Furthermore, I hope that the outside world can give Millwall some more respect. Most of our fans support the club wholeheartedly. Every weekend, it’s their life to walk into the stadium to support the team. It is an important part of the game. Don’t treat every Millwall fan as a football hooligan. This is misunderstood and lacks respect. The club banned some riot fans and several extreme fan organizations from entering the venue. Why? The safety in the stands, I hope that after becoming a parent, every Millwall fan will be able to bring the children to the stadium with peace of mind and joy to support us, so that our club will have a future and be enlarged to all stadiums in England. The same is true."
...
With the broadcast of this Sky TV program, the banner of the protest against Aldridge at the Millwall training ground disappeared, and the club’s supporters have become more, because fans in several counties outside the southeast of London have also been established. In order to support the fan organization, they pulled up a banner for the first time and appeared on the stage of the Lion’s Cave Stadium in the FA Cup semi-final, publicly supporting Millwall.
