Chapter 403: Hold your head up and start sailing again

In the afternoon before the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, the Millwall youth team came to Munich with the first team and played a friendly match with the Bayern Munich youth team.
The attack line led by Joe Cole, Villa, Vicente and Joaquin completely destroyed the Bayern Munich youth team and won a big victory 5:2.
Under the leadership of Najib, the youth team did not go around Munich. For example, they looked for the Munich 1860 youth team for a friendly match. Instead, they sat on the stands behind the visiting coach to watch the game.
Such an important game, the members of the youth team also want to enjoy it up close.
This is also a way for the club to cultivate a sense of belonging among young players.
But when they saw the team eliminated by Bayern Munich, the young players also showed their lost colors.
On the field, Aldrich came to Ronaldinho. Everyone didn't realize that Ronaldinho had been injured. He just thought he was sad when he slipped and missed a penalty.
Aldrich bent down to stretch out his hand and saw a face full of tears.
That smile would make the happy faces of all Millwalls in the entire Lions Cave stadium disappear.
"Boss, sorry!"
Ronaldinho knows how much the team values ​​and expects the defending European Champions Cup, but he kicked off everyone's dream.
Aldrich showed a gentle expression to him, could not see any bitterness, he did not speak, pulled Ronaldinho off the ground, when he saw Ronaldinho's unsteady leg showing pain on his face, Aldridge realized Ronaldinho was injured.
He put Ronaldinho's arm on his shoulder and then hugged him to the middle circle.
Ronaldinho still couldn't stop tearing against Aldridge's shoulder, he kept apologizing to Aldridge as if he had made a big mistake.
As Aldridge walked towards the middle circle, there was always a camera around him. The live broadcast was still not over. Maybe the audience in front of the TV was more curious about how the young coach would react next.
The narrator is very sighed, especially from the British commentator, Martin Taylor.
He said with a heavy tone and full of reverence: "This scene is new to us and the fans of Millwall, it is not that Millwall will not lose, they have lost, and they have fallen close to the league champion The next defeat, but today’s defeat is a milestone in the history of Millwall Club and will be recorded in history. Bayern Munich defeated Millwall at home 1-0, this is the first European match in Millwall club history. Lost in war, lost in the Champions League! After embarking on the European war in the previous season, Millwall in the European Winners Cup, the Champions League has maintained an unbeaten record of 31 games, the first season in the European Winners Cup with only one game The winning record won the championship. Last season, if they counted as the finals, they won 8 games and 3 draws in 11 games. Among them, the regular time and overtime in the finals were a draw and won the penalty. This season, Millwall participated in the first 9 games. With 8 wins and 1 draw in the Champions League, we have reason to pay tribute to Millwall and pay tribute to Audrey Hall! They are never optimistic, even if this season as the defending champion in the Champions League, the outside world is still Not optimistic about them, because they lost too many excellent players in the summer, almost the loss of the main force of the half team, but Hall quickly tuned out a new generation of crazy lions, and came to the semi-finals, with multiple World Cup, European Cup Champion member Bayern Munich played against each other. In the game, we did not see Millwall fall into the disadvantage. Eventually we regretted that the penalty shootout was eliminated, but I believe that they will come back and will again hit the European Champions Cup. Never lose faith in Hall’s team, they can create miracles, can give fans supreme enjoyment, can write the history of the football sanctuary!"
Aldridge took Ronaldinho to the middle, facing the frustrated players with their heads down, he asked the three captains to pull up the players lying on the ground.
He beckoned to the sidelines again, beckoning both the replacement and the players who came off the court.
Finally, he pointed to the stands behind the coach seat, so that the members of the youth team also joined them.
The stadium security staff hesitated for a moment, and finally let these young men in suits and leather suits walk into the court. They were dressed uniformly, and they wore suits at a young age.
After everyone got together, even if the next cameraman and reporters got together, Aldridge was also deaf.
He glanced firmly at everyone's expression, and then said in a deep voice: "We lost this game! Yes, lost, but lost is lost! Lost to Bayern Munich, we will feel sorry, but we do not You should blame yourself, be discouraged, and lose. Being able to confront such a powerful opponent is your wealth, losing, shameless! Your present expression is like attending a funeral, mourning what? Is it that we have reached the end? No! This is not the end! Absolutely not! This is the starting point, the beginning, a more powerful milestone for Millwall in the future! Ronaldinho, put away your tears, you are only 19 years old, you deserve what you are today Be proud of your performance! You must have at least 1.5 people on the defense of Bayern Munich to mark you! Materazzi, raise your head, I’ll give you 9 points for your performance today! In the future, on the way to struggle, we have to leave here with our heads raised, not to convey any message to the outside world, but to tell yourself: we still have the future! The future is in your hands, in your hearts, the key is how you are To face it, is it really down after falling here, or to make ourselves stronger, and make our team stronger! Now, head up high, throw away the sorrow, we, set sail again!"
Aldridge's expression, speech, and body movements were recorded by the camera next to him from start to finish, and the players' expressions were refreshed immediately.
Southgate shouted: "Milwall!"
All Millwall players and coaches on the scene chanted in unison: "Chong Chong Chong!"
Aldrich turned and led the team away.
This scene is extremely shocking.
The losing Millwall was led by a young handsome man with a strong expression. Everyone's expression could not see sadness, but they could see an unyielding tenacity in their firm expression.
Even with tears on his face, Ronaldinho, with Villa and Joe Cole on his shoulders, had sharp eyes.
In this fallen field, Ronaldinho made an oath in his heart.
He will lead Millwall to kill again, and give all Millwall a championship!
Will!
Will! ! !
After the team returned to the locker room, Little Rolla was injured and Schneider cramped. The team doctor was doing the treatment. The players calmly began to take a shower and change their clothes without saying anything, preparing to leave Munich.
Aldridge went to the post-match press conference.
When Aldridge walked into the press conference, the reporters from Fleet Street in England invariably welcomed him with applause.
Millwall was eliminated, which caught Fleet Street by surprise.
But Millwall was not a disastrous defeat, but was out in a tragic penalty shootout. In the 120-minute game, Millwall succeeded in limiting Bayern Munich’s offense despite the goal, except for the positioning head Outside the door.
"Regarding the result of this game, Coach Hall, do you have anything to say now?"
Aldridge calmly replied: "Congratulations to Bayern Munich for their advancement to the final. They deserved victory. I said before the first round that Millwall and Bayern Munich deserved to be in the final. The strength of both teams Unmatched, the suspense will be decided in an instant. Nedved scored a good start for us. Effenberg’s header was also scored by Bayern Munich, and finally won by penalty kick Negative, although cruel, but it seems fair. Our luck is a little bit worse. This is also normal. The penalty shootout is inherently unpredictable, and no one is completely sure."
The Fleet Street reporters nodded and agreed with Aldridge's statement.
Judging from the 210 minutes of the two rounds of the game, Bayern Munich and Millwall are inseparable, and the goals of the two teams are not created by the excellent opportunity. It will definitely be called accidental in the usual. But in this top-level contest, chance is actually inevitable.
A reporter from Germany's "Photo" asked: "Ronaldinho, the criminal who missed the sixth round of penalty kick, before he took the penalty, we noticed that Millwall captain Southgate had After a short speech exchange, did he take the initiative to take the sixth penalty?"
Aldridge suddenly changed his colors and said sharply: "Sinner? You treat me with respect! None of my players are sinners! You can blame me, the team is eliminated, the responsibility is mine, it is me Let him take a penalty! I neglected his physical limit and caused him to be injured. If you must find a sinner, it is me!"
Having said that, Aldridge got up and left, not wanting to argue with reporters again.
"Photo" reporter was dumbfounded.
He turned his head inexplicably to the group of British journalists on Fleet Street.
Male gobi.
Isn’t it your best to find a sinner after a penalty kick?
Isn’t it the tradition of England?
I respect your traditions, your young master is crazy about sending wool!
The reporters on Fleet Street raised their eyebrows, not surprisingly.
This young man is famous for protecting the calf. From the time he choked for the Southgate and the media, as long as it is within the scope of football, he will never let the outside world exert mental pressure on the players.
Not to mention the heavy burden of the "loser".
Millwall defeated Munich, and the return plane landed in London early in the morning.
When Aldridge led his team out of the airport and was going to take the bus home, he saw that nearly a thousand crazy lion fans actually gathered outside the airport. They shouted the name of each player and cheered for them.
If you haven’t watched the game and you don’t know the results in the first place, you must think that Millwall is the winner.
Seeing many fans come to support them for the first time, the players were very moved, and some people even had wet eyes.
Aldrich was also infected by this scene, making a gesture of worship to peripheral fans before embarking on the bus.
After returning home, Aldridge was sitting on the sofa, although he encouraged the team to cheer up immediately after the game, but who would inspire him?
Looking at the ceiling gave a bitter smile.
There is a long way to go to defend the European Champions Cup.
Sorry?
No, he didn't feel that way.
Being able to play against Bayern Munich this season, as the head coach, he thinks it is a precious memory. When he is old, he should be able to smile when he remembers it. The victory and defeat of the soldiers are common. Studying is one of the joys of his job.
Dingdong.
Doorbell rang.
Aldridge really laughed this time. It turned out that some people would come to comfort him and inspire him at this time.
Opening the door, unexpectedly, I saw Yiwen holding a fruit salad...
