England fans have begun to give too high expectations to the England team, but Aldridge is very low-key when he is the coach of the England national team.
This is in sharp contrast to his identity as Millwall coach.
"League champion? We have won three consecutive championships, why can't we win four consecutive championships? In the Premier League, which team can cause us trouble? Sorry, I don't see any obstacles that prevent us from progressing on the defending road."
As soon as he returned to the club, Aldridge made a bold statement and regarded the other teams in the Premier League as nothing. When he faced the camera, his tone was light, but he showed a strong confidence in the young handsome.
Throughout September, Millwall and Larsson and Ronaldinho were injured in the national team, and the red card suspension in the Southgate League was negatively affected. But in the fourth to eighth rounds, these five Premier League games, Millwall achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 draw. In the first stage of the Champions League group stage, away from Porto, he won the Portuguese Super League Porto at the Dragon Stadium. He also advanced smoothly in the League Cup.
Throughout September, Millwall continued the good momentum since the start of the season.
The league has 7 wins and 1 draw, with 22 points, topping the list.
Leeds United 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 19 points, ranked second.
Manchester United have 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 17 points, ranking third.
Arsenal are 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, with 14 points, ranking fourth.
"Leeds United looks promising to challenge the league champions this season, but they have not yet been tested by too many strong dialogues, winning Arsenal and losing to Millwall. If it is not due to schedule adjustment, they are likely to hit The best opening history in the top league in club history, that is, the eight-game victory, after losing to Millwall, they tied Bolton again, a team that is obviously not as good as their team. After adjustment, they next achieved four straight Victory. In view of the background and the psychological quality of the team, if Leeds United can achieve good results in the contest with Manchester United and Liverpool, then they are really likely to have fantasies about the championship."
This is exactly why O'Reilly hates the FA. If the schedule is not adjusted, Leeds United is in full swing, and it is entirely possible to sit in the top position now! The negative impact of losing to Millwall directly led to the failure of the Premier League underdogs like Bolton at home.
"Although Manchester United is only 5 points away from Millwall, Millwall's opponents in September are not strong, Everton, Middlesbrough, Newcastle United, Derbyshire, Aston Villa, only Bobby Robson took away a point from Millwall, Manchester United performance looks more eye-catching, such a big score of 5:0, 5:3 played continuously, but it is worth noting that the league played 8 rounds, Manchester United 13 goals lost! Averaged more than 1.5 per game, this is by no means a defensive performance that a championship team should have, especially when Newcastle United defeated 4:3 and Tottenham scored 3 goals. Want to compete with Millwall, a team that has only lost three goals in the first eight rounds to compete for the league title? Stam's departure has had a great impact on Manchester United's defense. Ferguson may regret it at this time, but there is no way, he Can only rely on Brown, Blank, and even Gary Neville as the central defender to make up for the defense, if, if Manchester United really took the league title from Millwall, in addition to major problems within Millwall, I can't think of any reason."
After the start of the season, the tone of the championship returned to the past rhythm. Manchester United and Millwall defended the throne. Manchester United challenged the dominance of the mad lion. Although Leeds United temporarily ranked second, the outside world impacted their championship. The prospects are not optimistic, the league, the test is endurance, is a long battle, Leeds United is only a good start, nothing more. Arsenal followed, but it felt difficult to place high hopes on them. Liverpool, Chelsea and other teams, after eight rounds, Chelsea are 15 points from Millwall, Liverpool are 9 points from Millwall, they have withdrawn In order to compete for the crown.
...
In October, the scenery in many parks in London was extremely beautiful. In the early morning, Aldridge and Ewen wore couples jogging in the park, the wind was blowing, and the orange leaves of the trees fell, which was particularly poetic.
The two were jogging around a circular green area in the park. After about half an hour, the two sat down on a bench to rest.
Yiwen wiped his sweat and said after the breath was stable: "Ms. Luo Lin sent an invitation to invite our family to attend the film premiere next month."
Aldridge watched not far away. Burt and Earl were playing with a Labrador. That’s a neighbor’s pet dog. Please ask Aldridge to help out in the morning. The time in the community is not short. Derich has established rapport with many neighbors around him.
In particular, social activities are held in the community, especially some parent-child activities. Children play together, and adults also have the opportunity to communicate.
"Hey, Burt, don't do that! Uncle Norton will be upset!"
Aldridge shouted to Burt with a severe expression, the boy actually pressed the labrador's body and tried to ride!
When Burt heard his father criticize himself, he immediately fell on the cliff. He was not afraid of dogs, and he even wanted to play tricks on dogs. Such bad behavior was not good. Aldridge would correct his behavior the first time.
Earl is more interested in dogs and can play happily together.
Aldridge turned back and smiled at Yiwen: "Okay, let's go to the movies together. Think about it, time passes so fast."
"Ok?"
"When I met Ms. Rowling, she... now, all her novels have been put on the screen, which is amazing."
Aldridge was in a trance, and he was indeed filled with emotion.
Being able to witness Ms. Rowling’s success along the way is not only rare, but also makes him feel sincerely happy for his friends.
Yi Wen also sincerely respected Ms. Luo Lin.
"Your suitcase is ready and I have two more suits for you. The weather forecast says that Manchester will cool down in the next few days."
Aldridge smiled and leaned in to kiss Ewen, then got up and took her hand to Burt and Earl, and went home together. After breakfast, Aldridge took a shower and changed his head and put on the suitcase Say goodbye to family.
For him, the weird work schedule started again.
This time, he will lead the team to the Carrington training base and Manchester United as the national team coach.
A week from now, the final round of the World Championships between England and Greece will start at Old Trafford!
The England team is gaining momentum, and the natural scenery in the homeland is infinite. Many internationals have gone to Manchester for training.
Aldridge has temporarily become the protagonist of the Carrington base, which has also created the focus of public opinion. It is more concerned than Liverpool players such as Irving and Gerrard coming here for training.
The England internationals have plenty of confidence and are serious and active in training. Aldridge is very satisfied with this.
However, the day before the game began, he warned the players not to relax in the press conference.
"A lot of people think that we have defeated Greece on the road, and now it is our turn to play at home. Greece will not cause us trouble. Such a view is very wrong! Greece has tied Germany, and Greece has a new coach. Starting to enter the construction of the next competition cycle, they did not have any expectations for the World Cup next year, and they did not have any desire in the qualifiers. However, the direction of their efforts now is the European Cup three years later, Rehagel is a An experienced and capable coach who despise him and his team will be punished!"
Aldridge drove Fleet Street crazy!
The young coach said that he was too low-key, but when he was coaching the club, he would make bold words and despise the Premier League.
Say he's crazy, but as long as it's an England game, this thing feels like it's awesome!
The reporters looked at Aldridge tearfully.
Let's qualify for the tie!
The opponent is Greece, a team we can beat away!
The other party has no desire, no need, the other party is rebuilding, and the interior is also confused!
With England in your hands, why is it that an opponent looks very good?
Don't be like this, come up with some confidence in a football powerhouse.
"Mr. Hall, I can understand your cautious attitude, but will your remarks make the team too nervous and may cause the team to sink into depression? We seem to have lost the momentum that the strong should deserve."
Even David Miller, who had a good relationship with Aldridge, frowned and asked.
He did not ask how arrogant Aldridge was, and regarded Greece as nothing, but Aldridge also had to show some English prestige.
Aldridge still looked serious and replied: "The power of the strong? When we went to the European Cup, we took it out, and then we went home after the group stage. After the World Preliminaries started, we played Finland away. With the momentum of the strong, we were tied. Before Wembley faced Germany, we won the opponent because of the European Cup. We took the momentum of the strong again, and then we lost in Wembley. Strong The momentum of the players? It’s not something that was spoken, it was played on the court. I don’t think England is qualified to claim to be a strong man. Or, can anyone tell me why England should be considered a strong man?
The reporters stopped talking.
In the end, the audience sighed!
It seems that Aldridge is the coach of the national team, which is different from other coaches. The former coach is in the seat, which is not incompatible with the media, is forced by the media to be crazy.
When it came to Aldridge, it was not to the point where the fire and water could not be tolerated. After all, England is winning, but the battle is still the main theme, but this initiative has become in the hands of Aldridge.
The media wanted to sing praise to him, he didn't appreciate it, he had to sing the opposite of the media.
Today, if he is entangled with Aldridge, it will become a joke in the eyes of his European counterparts.
In particular, Aldridge’s question is really hard to answer.
Why does England consider itself a strong man?
Yeah, why?
The 1994 World Cup did not go, the 1998 World Cup quarter-finals did not advance, and the 1996 European Cup local battle was only the top four. In 2000, it was beaten back to the original group stage and did not qualify.
If this can be considered a strong man, then the strong man caught a lot.
Realistically speaking, England, the team at the end of first-class international football, plays a second-class team like Greece, you really can't say how much power you can shake.
If it is a must-win game, Fleet Street is not so demanding, let's be more cautious, it should be.
But even if the game is a tie, they always feel that Aldridge is too low-key.
Aldridge didn't even care about the attitude of this game, he valued temperament more.
In England, don’t be tempted when you encounter a strong team. You will be proud when you encounter a weak team. You can still be bullied and frightened. In the future, it will really become the European Chinese team.
This temperament is to eliminate outside interference, treat each game independently, pay attention to the game, pay attention to the opponent, and do not affect the present because of the previous victory or defeat.
