Chapter 51: Knotted

Beckham left London on the day of packing his luggage.
In the evening, Aldridge received a call from the Manchester United coach.
"Aldrich, I have learned about David. I don’t want this to affect our relationship."
Aldridge was a bit strange to hear the opening speech of the old Scottish man.
"Huh? You think I am a three-year-old child, and I am dissatisfied with Beckham, so I am full of hatred for the entire Manchester United club? Rest assured, I am not so careful, David is still immature, plus the status of loaning Millwall It’s normal that he can’t hear me.

Ferguson, who watched the tactics on the court, naturally came to call Aldridge after watching the video of the game of Middlesbrough vs. Millwall. The details of the matter, he has already heard from another player, Phil Neville. Learned.
He who protects the calf will not accuse David Beckham, will not even mention it, nor will he make a special phone call to explain to Aldridge, which Aldridge can expect, but Ferguson said no Affecting the relationship between the two clubs makes Aldridge feel strange.
"Well, you are a free and easy young man, okay, don't say anything else, goodbye."
Aldridge felt confused after hanging up the phone.
Don't say anything else?
Ferguson obviously still has something to say!
Only the timing is wrong.
Aldrich just wanted to understand that he was soaking in the bathtub at home: This old man is afraid that he will hate Manchester United without selling players to Manchester United!
Does Ferguson want to buy someone?
Sure!
Although the striker Andy Cole was purchased for the team in January, Ferguson was contented to die with Blackburn of Dalglish in the second half of the season, but no one expected that just half a month later, In the match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace, Cantona kicked the Crystal Palace fans and shocked the world.
The FA's ticket has been issued and Cantona has been suspended for eight months!
The winter transfer window has been closed, and Cantona's suspension will continue until the end of September.
In other words, the first few rounds of the Premier League next season, Manchester United still lacks Cantona. The state of Cantona, which has not played for eight months, will also be unknown. Ferguson has just been killed by Keegan to fill the front line. Now it's time to start having headaches for the forward again.
And after Beckham returned to Manchester, after Ferguson asked, Ferguson's eyes were not just staring at Larson, Trezeguet and Solskjaer both entered the Manchester United scouts' attention list.
The next morning after the match day, the team was on holiday, and in the afternoon the players came to the training ground for an easy recovery training.
At sunset, Aldridge called Phil Neville in his office.
Neville, who changed his clothes after training, was still a honest young man. He entered Aldrich's office and sat down. He immediately said: "Boss, I want to stay. At least after this season, in Millwall, I think I can gain valuable experience."
To be honest, you just don’t sell it.
Phil Neville, as a backup lineup, has played more than ten times this season. In Millwall, Aldridge did not dare to say that he tried his best to train him, but training with the first team, the entire coaching staff can do it. A bowl of water is level.
Aldridge sighed softly: "I also hope you stay, but it is impossible. You should understand that if you stay, your life here will be difficult in the next few months because you are a Manchester United player."
Beckham was blasted away, Neville stayed, and will definitely be isolated in the locker room. Audridge can't count on the team's players to be noble and wait for people.
Although Neville did not provoke public anger, his Manchester United background prevented him from standing on this collective team-based team sport.
Neville's face became lost, and he refuted nothing more.
He is considered to be a pond fish, because of Beckham's affairs, Millwall's players do not trust and reject him, which is not surprising.
Aldrich picked up two thick stacks of documents on the table and handed him said, "It's this thing that calls you to come. This is a training report between you and David since August last year, and a copy is for future development training. Suggest."
Neville reached out and took two thick stacks of documents, heavy in his hand, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Aldrich is famous for working hard everyday, and the coaches of the coaching staff are all conscientious. They treat him and Beckham on loan players equally, and these two reports make Neville moved and speechless. Come.
"You brought these two documents back to Manchester United. Me, just to do my part. Both you and David are young. It was helpless when you first rented you, but since you came to Millwall, I think it is necessary. Responsible for your growth..."
Aldrich talked a lot, and even he felt verbose, but he couldn't stop his mouth, only to feel a sadness in his heart.
How to say how to get along for half a year, suddenly, he was not mentally prepared.
Neville listened very carefully and nodded frequently, especially when Aldridge advised his friends to go back and work hard after training, not to be distracted by things off the court, Neville nodded heavily and remembered every word. deep in the heart.
Following the pace of Beckham's departure, Neville also returned to Manchester United. This matter was not mentioned by media reporters until the press conference of the FA Cup midweek match.
Leading the team for the second time this season as a guest at St James Park Stadium, Aldridge suffered a collective bombing by the media at the pre-match press conference.
"Why did the two players David Beckham and Phil Neville suddenly return to Manchester United after the last game? The official Manchester United announcement before the season was that the two players loaned Millwall for an entire season. What happened? what?"
In the face of the reporters' unwillingness to break the casserole's posture, Aldridge was reluctant to talk in depth, and finally only said lightly: "The next Millwall's schedule is looser, and the team's current situation is enough to deal with all In the game, Beckham and Neville will no longer have a chance to play in Millwall. I think it is more beneficial for them to return to Manchester United by allowing them to return early."
At this moment, Aldridge was able to understand the difficulties of the reporters.
I originally thought that two heavy news last month were enough for the English journalists to stop for a while. Whether it was Graham’s class or Cantona kicking the fans, it was enough for the journalists to write a special book. Both interviews declined to comment on the two incidents. Graham’s Arsenal lost class to Millwall after class and Aldridge didn’t want to fall into the trap.
And Cantona kicked Crystal Palace fans. Millwall's derby relationship with Crystal Palace was destined to make him easy to speak.
Standing on the side of Manchester United, inhumane.
Standing on the side of the Crystal Palace, isn't that the elbow turned outward?
Do not help each other?
Opening the mouth means offending both sides.
Can it be done?
Today, reporters speculate whether Aldridge's relationship with Manchester United has broken, or that hostile incidents have occurred.
Judging from the questions raised by the reporter, Aldrich was slightly relieved. At least no one told the truth. His anger in the locker room and no one in the team leaked it out.
"Gentlemen, if there is no question about the FA Cup game, then I will go first."
Aldridge answered a few more questions about the game, and then got up and left.
As for Kevin Keegan's high-profile announcement that the game will beat Millwall before the game, Aldridge did not care.
Kevin Keegan is also a wonderful flower in English football.
The player era was very successful. In the seventies and eighties, it was regarded as an English superstar, especially the last game of retirement. After the end, a helicopter flew from the horizon to land on the court. Kevin Keegan Tears and fans waved goodbye, without changing the jersey, they got into the helicopter, then the helicopter flew away, and a generation of stars retired.
It really has the style of "it's a matter of having to brush clothes and hide the merits and fame".
He is a striker who coached the Magpie, and it is good-looking to tune Newcastle United to attack. In the past two years, he has been a little floating, and he feels that he can break the wrist with Ferguson, and Aldridge feels ridiculous.
If the football match depends on the offense to determine the winning or losing, Kevin Keegan has a big win.
If it weren’t for Millwall to have no idea about the cup this season, Aldridge would not change the team’s strategy. He really wanted to give Kevin Keegan a "defense victory" with his young players. Lesson.
The other party is proud, and Audridge, who is provocative, is too lazy to bother.
Because of the departure of Beckham and Neville, Aldridge was somewhat stretched in the formation of the platoon. In the rematch of the FA Cup, he let Lucas Neal continue to appear and Zambrotta changed to the right back. The field followed the posture of playing Arsenal, Gattuso, Vieira, Barak.
Three strikers: Grenchar, Phillips, Solskjaer.
Aldridge wanted to see what effect 433, Glenchar and Solskjaer would play as wingers.
At St James Park Stadium, Newcastle United dispatched all the main force, the two sides played a thrilling confrontation.
The last game was 1:1.
In this game, no one expected the score after 90 minutes: 4:4.
Facing Newcastle United with an offensive and splendid personal ability, Aldridge knows that he can't hold on. They are not facing the rough team of the Premier League, but the top team in the Premier League relying on the offensive ranking.
And Barack and Vieira's forward assist ability, coupled with the unexpected performance of the striker Trident, Millwall's offense also played out.
Phillips scored two goals alone, Solskjaer scored a goal, and Barak equalized with a header before the game.
Millwall, who was exhausted in overtime, was eventually killed by the Magpies and eliminated in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Aldridge had no regrets, but in an interview after the game, he unexpectedly heard Kevin Keegan talking again.
"Mr. Keegan said Millwall paid a price for disrespecting the FA Cup. Even if Millwall enters the Super League next season, it will be difficult to relegate successfully."
"He really said that?"
Aldridge was confused by the camera lens of the post-match interview.
You won the game, but how do you celebrate, why do you have to bite me not to let go?
Okay, Liang Zi is knotted!
"I am very pleased to hear from Mr. Kevin Keegan. If Millwall enters the Premier League next season, our task is of course to relegate, especially when we meet a strong team like Newcastle United, we need to fight for them. Some points to avoid relegation, this season Newcastle United has lost the qualification for the Premier League championship, then I wish Mr. Kevin Keegan next season have the opportunity to touch the Premier League championship trophy."
