Chapter 154: King of London


Manchester United scored a small victory over Zie United, Newcastle United fell at home, the Premier League finale is close, and three teams in the standings have the possibility of winning the championship.
Newcastle United scored evenly with Manchester United. Manchester United topped the list with a goal difference. Millwall was two points behind the top two. The hopes of winning the championship were slim.
Aldridge received a text message from Ferguson on his way back to London.
"Good job!"
Aldridge responded calmly with a text message.
"Congratulations to Manchester United for winning the league title."
Ferguson returned another one.
"It's not over yet, anything can happen, Manchester United will not make the same mistake last year."
Aldrich put away his phone and no longer cared.
For Millwall players, they quickly understood what was on Fleet Street.
"Great victory! Millwall reignited hope of winning the championship!"
"Millwall: Ajax in England!"
The following day, major London newspapers published reports on Millwall and Newcastle United. After all, it was the most high-profile battle.
Just like Ajax always has young talents, Millwall also has many young players who have been regarded as talented by the media this season.
Needless to say, Trezeguet, the main players such as Larson, Nedved, Makelele, etc. have all faded their young coats, and their maturity on the court cannot be treated as a rookie.
And players like Shevchenko, Barak, Vieira, Elgra and so on have all attracted wide attention from the outside world.
At the Battle of St. James Park Stadium, Capdevila and Van Nistelrooy also began to enter the public eye. Fleet Street likened Millwall to Ajax in England.
I just don't know if Millwall will fall as fast as Ajax.
This season, Ajax made another good result, reaching the UEFA Champions League final for two consecutive years, although their 53 unbeaten record was ended two months ago.
Aldridge ate breakfast and read the newspaper the day before the end of the war. Experts had predicted that Millwall had a probability of winning more than 2%. Today, this probability has increased fivefold, about 13%.
This probability is not a nonsense. Through the scientific prediction method of the bookmaker, it is calculated that the probability of neither Manchester United nor Newcastle United winning or Millwall winning is multiplied, which is the probability that Millwall will eventually win the championship. There is no need to float, because the top two do not win, Millwall wins, and the goal difference must lead them.
Throwing the newspaper in the trash, Aldridge continued to eat breakfast, training during the day, pre-game preparation meeting, and then attended the press conference of the closing game. Aldridge behaved tepidly, very calmly, the reporter asked the winner Things, he said lightly that he didn't care, but he was satisfied after playing the last game.
On May 3rd, today’s Lion’s Cave Stadium hardly saw any visiting fans.
Although 99% of the visiting team fans are in London, not many of them are interested in coming to the Lion’s Cave Stadium, even today’s game can be called a London Derby.
Millwall vs Queens Park Rangers.
The latter was unlucky and relegated a round earlier.
Aldridge followed the lineup from the previous game. The main players were all sitting in the stands. They were preparing for the FA Cup final one week later.
The hustle and bustle in the stadium, the giant banner on the south stand is very eye-catching.
This huge picture is very creative.
Below is the map of Greater London, which identifies the Premier League clubs in the corresponding geographic location.
Above is the blue lion on the Milwaukee team badge.
In the middle are striking characters.
10W2D, King of London!
Before the game started, there was a sound from the stands resounding through the sky.
"King of London! King of London!"
This season, there are seven Premier League London teams.
Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham United, Wimbledon, Queens Park Rangers, Millwall.
In the London Civil War, Millwall had a draw with Tottenham and Arsenal, and all nine London derby games that had already ended won.
The last game left is today's final game. The fans don't think that the relegated Queens Park Rangers will cause trouble to Millwall, so they directly regarded the game as a steady victory.
Fans felt that with 10 wins and 2 draws, Millwall's undefeated and victorious or double-play record of the other six teams improved their position in London without dispute.
King of London!
Other London teams can't refute.
As a result, Millwall got a nickname in the media: civil war expert.
This civil war is based in London.
In the home game in London and the away derby in London, Millwall played very well.
But after leaving London, Millwall could lose to Nottingham Forest and could not win the Leeds United and Aston Villa teams. This also directly led them to lose out of London although they only lost one game in the 37 rounds of the league. Too many draws in the away game are the key to losing points.
Aldridge aroused the cheers of the audience when he entered the court, and he applauded calmly to the stands. Today the FA also brought a replica of the championship trophy to the Lion’s Cave Stadium, but important officials and officials all went to the Riverside Stadium. Manchester United has always been in control.
After the players from both sides entered the field, Aldridge was still sitting on the coach's bench, his expression fluctuating.
The kickoff is synchronous and kicks off. After the game starts, Queens Park Rangers are in poor shape and their fighting spirits are weak. Most of them are worried about their future. The team will play in the League One next year, and no one knows about the coming summer. Yes, leave.
Millwall's youth army is full of fighting spirit. They just want to show themselves and show their strength. As for whether their opponents are interested in competing with them, they don't care much.
A group of male lions faced a group of sheep, and the game became a slaughter.
Solskjaer staged a hat-trick in only thirty-five minutes.
Aldridge replaced him in the second half. When he was off the court, he formally applauded and bowed to the four sides of the stands. That action was undoubtedly a farewell, although the fans had not yet thought of that.
Phillips, who came off the bench, could not play the winger. He and Fanny appeared a bit crowded in the middle, but the Queens Park Rangers had no fighting spirit. They just wanted to wait for the game to end. Fanny also scored a goal, and then Audridge replaced After Pirlo, let him adjust the state of the game, the next FA Cup final, Aldridge intends to let him start.
Mills was given twenty minutes to see how he felt. In the position of the right back, Mills was strong and defensive, but his offense was not satisfactory.
At the end of the game, Shevchenko and Barak added icing on the cake, and the six-ball bloodbath did not resist the QPR of will.
The players happily gathered together to thank the fans, and the players in the suits and suits in the stands also came to the court to express their gratitude to the fans for their unremitting support throughout the season.
The battle on the Riverside Stadium came to an end. Robson failed to lead Middlesbrough to snipe Manchester United. He fell behind at home early and was defeated by Manchester United's three goals. Manchester United regained the championship this season after missing the league title last season.
The result on the other side was unexpected. After losing to Millwall, Keegan's team ended in the main game against Tottenham, but was eventually stubbornly flattened by Tottenham aiming for tickets in the European stadium.
Although Tottenham didn't get the UEFA Cup tickets in the end, it helped Millwall reach the second place in the standings.
Millwall made his debut in the Premier League season, ranking second in the league by two points.
Without winning the championship, there is no need to celebrate, not to mention their season is not over, in the endless applause of fans, Millwall players and coaches withdrew.
Aldridge gave the players a holiday, gave them a good rest, and returned to prepare for the FA Cup final three days later.
In the evening he watched TV with Benitez at home, and the topic of conversation was nothing more than football.
The BBC launched the Premier League show this season.
The winning Manchester United is undoubtedly the focus, especially when Ferguson has released many main forces this season and the transfer market has 0 investment to reverse the Newcastle United team to win the championship, which is called incredible. Manchester United is only signing up for a free Substitute goalkeeper, but also obviously a signing of the number of people.
Millwall became the second focus. The ball critics and famous England fans agreed that Millwall's performance was unexpected. The performance of the season was very stable, but compared to Manchester United, they only lost in experience. Manchester United has led the way with new players, Schmeichel, Cantona, Keane and other core players have been the mainstay of Manchester United in the past few years. They can keep Manchester United calm in the big scene and help young rookies such as Beckham grow quickly. In contrast, Millwall, almost no one on the whole team has had a league title, playing for the first time in the Premier League. Although the momentum was rapid in the second half of the season, he did not adjust the team status reasonably, and drew Aston for two consecutive home games. Vera and Leeds united so that they missed the opportunity to perform a miracle.
Newcastle United was unanimously criticized. After all, their lead was too big. Before playing against Millwall in the first half, they led Manchester United by 13 points. Even in early February, their lead was 10 points.
However, they lost all of the key battles in the second half and did not even get a point.
Losing Manchester United, losing Liverpool, losing Millwall, not to mention winning, even if it is a tie, perhaps Newcastle United may bring the championship trophy back to St James Park Stadium.
In the inventory of other teams, Arsenal’s renaissance is a mirror. The Liverpool lineup is strong but lacks the will and temperament to impact the championship. Aston Villa has made obvious progress. The rate of decline of Leeds United is unexpected...
In the player's inventory, the Premier League golden boot was Hiller, followed by Larson more efficiently. He played seven fewer games than Hiller, but only scored five fewer goals than Hiller.
Nedved won the best foreign aid, and pressed Cantona to become the FWA football player elected by the Association of Journalists, Trezeguet pressed Fowler to become the best young player of the PFA, and the professional player union selected Mr. Football is Larson.
Among other awards selected by various media, most of Millwall's players are on the list.
To be fair, Aldridge feels a little unfair. He is more willing to give honor to defensive players such as Southgate, Stam, and Makelele, not to say that the offensive players and defensive players perform better, but he I hope to honor the collective in honor, and the phenomenon of too much offensive players is not good.
After a two-day break, Aldridge walked into the Lion’s Den Stadium again. He sat on the stands and was accompanied by Melanie. The two were here to watch a final.
Aldridge supports the home team: Millwall.
Melanie supports the visiting team: Liverpool.
This is a FA Cup final, but not the FA Cup final at Wembley four days later, but the Youth FA Cup.
In the first round of the final, Millwall played 1:1 with Liverpool away. The second round was held today. Millwall has a home advantage.
