Chapter 1114: Doom

Millwall's lineup is close to "perfect", so there is no need to make waves in the transfer market.
Compared to their neighbors in North London, Arsenal could not be considered a particular defeat last season, because at least they won a weighty championship trophy: the FA Cup.
However, it should be noted that in the difficult 120-minute hard battle with Manchester United, Arsenal has lost the domineering scene, and even the delicate and smooth technical style, almost the entire audience is suppressed by Manchester United, but Manchester United lacks luck, 120 Minute breaking goal, and finally hate the penalty shootout.
After Vieira left, Arsenal's weakness in the midfield was gradually exposed. In this summer, Arsenal's heavyweight signing was to strengthen the midfield.
Helleb, who was born in Eastern Europe and was known as "New Nedved", was transferred from the Bundesliga to the arsenal. In addition, Wenger dug Alexander Song from his home France, but too young Song will not be in The Gunners play an important role in this season's plan, not even playing the role of soy sauce.
Wenger, an idealistic seeker, seems to be beginning to weaken the attributes of the once-tough and terrifying gunmen, especially in the midfield, he seems to be pursuing a delicate and beautiful attack, and he no longer intends to copy such as "Vieira" + Palol, "Irona + Gilberto Silva" iron waist combination.
Arsenal and Millwall joined Cardiff Wales Millennium Stadium.
Before the opening of the community shield, Aldridge's previous image of the beard has been "sneered" by Fleet Street.
Such as something that does not conform to his image of a handsome young man, the subversive impact is too strong, or simply that he deliberately dresses up deeply.
By the time he attended the pre-match press conference, he had become a faint-hearted image, which was easier to accept, and in terms of image and visual perception, it was much better, the charming and handsome young handsome came back Too.
For the community shield, Aldridge said lightly: "Last season we stuck to the end and created a new glory. We need more time to rest. Unfortunately, our summer preparations are not very satisfactory, so the team is short-term The plan is to give the team’s main players more time to prepare for their physical and competitive status to return to the best, community shield? I think it’s time to test young people, some of the team’s young players last season, We must give them the chance to play in important games, feel the atmosphere of the field, withstand the impact of pressure, accumulate more experience, we will wait and see."
About the strength assessment of Arsenal in the new season?
"Arsenal have always been Millwall's main competitors. Now they are full of vitality. Players like Fabregas, Senderos, Van Persie, etc. represent the future of Arsenal, although the outside world believes that Millwall's overall strength is better than Arsenal are stronger, but we cannot ignore the fact that in the league competition, Millwall is more eye-catching than other championship teams. It is a lot of teams willing to try to beat the defending champion. What if they win? More exciting than winning the championship!"
This is the truth of Aldridge.
In the Premier League, in addition to the championship team, other teams playing Millwall, a tie may represent victory!
But maybe when you encounter Arsenal, you may have a whim, maybe you got 3 points?
From the technical and tactical level, do the strong teams like to play the ultimate defense against opponents or do they like to attack?
The answer is clear: Of course it is better that the opponent dares to attack.
Aldridge sent a large number of young players on this community shield.
Moutinho, Veroso, Messi, Ramos, Baines and other players all debuted. Even Aguero was temporarily transferred to the first team to stand by, and came off the bench in the second half of the community shield.
Millwall is really training.
Arsenal is doing their best, and it is still defensive.
They didn't have much advantage in the scene. At least when playing Millwall, the new generation of core Fabregas supported by Wenger did not reach the fire, but it did not fall. It can only be said that the scene cannot be controlled.
Millwall lacked a group of experienced generals, especially losing rhythm control and lacking patience to break through intensive defense.
Messi's breakthrough is unforgettable, but he can't decide the game yet.
Aguero's coming off the bench did not surprise everyone. He, a small man, still needs a certain amount of adaptation. After all, he suddenly came to an extremely fierce top field.
Villa is not in the best state, and missed two good opportunities.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who appeared at the last moment, was also busy, seeming a little absent-minded.
Although everyone on the court knows each other, but the formation of 11 starting lineups, it is difficult to play the best level in the high demands of breaking intensive defense.
The draw ended in a 90-minute draw, and the Community Shield entered the penalty shootout without overtime.
Aldridge witnessed one of Millwall’s most tragic penalty shootouts!
3: 0, complete defeat!
Three kicks kicked!
The list of penalties he ejected missed the first three rounds!
Ronaldo hit the plane first.
Villa directly put the ball into the arms of the other Lehman.
Messi's poor luck hit the crossbar with a penalty kick, it may also be caused by the huge pressure when he played.
Arsenal did not expect a hard fight for 90 minutes, and the final penalty shootout was so easy to win!
Wenger couldn't help laughing.
He hopes that this season will allow many young players to grow up quickly, and growth, of course, depends on victory, which is a stimulant to stimulate young players.
It's just that Wenger probably didn't think of it. The FA Cup last season and the community shield of the new season are the starting points for his uncapped championship for the next ten years.
Aldridge doesn't care much about the failure of a community shield, and since it is training, he must be conscious.
He feels that the problems reflected by the Community Shield game are very good. The status of the players and the shortcomings of the team's young lineup will all attract the attention of the coaching staff.
It was just that after the game, Fleet Street used his beard to make a fuss, which made him a little unbearable.
Aldridge was angry and laughing at what "destroyed the beard", what "failed change" and the like.
He was too lazy to respond to the media.
As a result, things went in a direction that he did not expect.
In the new season of the Premier League, Millwall will restore the main players more fully. At the same time, there will be a World Cup next summer. Veterans like Larson and Nedved will be on the one hand. On the other hand, it is a rainy day and needs to give the World Cup some strength. In terms of use, the club will give them more consideration, protect them as much as possible, and use it very carefully.
As the defending champion of the Premier League, Millwall played a mess in the Premier League in August.
Four Premier League games, the main play two games, the opening game on the 13th, the third round on the 24th, two games with one win and one draw, the record is OK.
However, the bench lineup in the second round of the 20th and the fourth round of the British on the 27th time out, then handed out a bad transcript.
After four rounds of English over, Millwall only had 5 points, and what about the top team?
Four wins, 12 points!
They are both teams, and they are both direct competitors of Millwall.
Manchester United and Chelsea are at the same time in the standings. The league kicked off, and Millwall was 7 points away!
Fleet Street is excited.
Even the media has already hit the eye-catching title of "Falling Lion Dynasty"!
Aldrich was very angry, not because the media exaggerated the negative significance of Millwall's record, but rather, the media chatter kept making his article for a month!
"Doom" is the one that Aldridge hates the most since he was nicknamed!
To calmly and objectively analyze the problem of the decline in the team's record, it is actually clear at a glance.
On the 24th, Millwall was about to play the third round of the Premier League, and the main lineup only got a draw.
It's an unsatisfactory performance.
why?
Because on the 26th, Millwall went to Monaco to play the European Super Cup!
The opponent is Liverpool, the opponent of the same league. Benitez led Liverpool to relive the UEFA Cup last season.
Aldridge sent the main line-up in the European Super Cup to play this game and won the game 2-1 with no surprises.
Then, the team returned to London non-stop, playing the fourth round of the Premier League on the 27th.
Why don't they adjust the schedule?
Millwall can apply to the FA for changing the fourth round to another time.
However, Millwall did not do so.
The reason is a bit complicated. "Deep thinking" Aldridge considers that the Premier League does not have a winter break. The Premier League has a double cup. The Premier League has compressed the schedule for the national team to prepare for the World Cup this season. And, FIFA.
They changed the Toyota Cup to the World Club Cup.
In December, Millwall played the Toyota Cup in the previous year and just went to play one game, but now it is changed to the World Club Cup and they will play two games!
One semi-final, one final or one or two finals, or three or four finals!
If Millwall applies to the FA to adjust the schedule, it may wait for the start of the European War next month, and this adjusted schedule will disrupt their established plans.
This is how it came in the past.
So on the 24th and 26th, the main lineup played two consecutive games. After the 27th game was completed, they had to go to the national team. The players in the main lineup are all important figures of the national team. Of course, Millwall can no longer make the main lineup. I went to play in the league, but came off the bench, but suffered a defeat.
After 38 rounds of the Premier League and 4 rounds of play, some media dare to say that Millwall has failed to defend his title and the dynasty has fallen?
Aldrich just smiled at it, and those media sensationalists were humiliated!
But Millwall lost the community shield, 7 points in the third round of the league and 7 points were blamed on Aldridge's beard, this can't bear it!
He decided not to change the image of the beard at least until the end of the season. At the end of the season, let everyone see if he should bear the name of "doom and beard".
