Perhaps some reporters will think that Aldridge was somewhat ecstatic when he was at Millwall and peak.
The Champions League is strong, and the changes are difficult to predict. Even if Millwall is recognized as the strongest, it may not be able to steadily achieve the three consecutive Champions League feats.
But Aldridge did not say this to outsiders, nor did he show his arrogance.
He meant to the Millwall people, to fans, players, and everyone who cares about Millwall.
Since Millwall is already recognized as the strongest, he does not need to be pretentious, false, humble and low-key, deliberately flattering opponents and creating psychological pressure on players.
Millwall had to complete the transformation when he was brilliant.
From spiritual temperament to club image.
In the past few years, Millwall has changed from a weak traveler to a strong man. The outside world will think that Millwall is a strong team. After becoming a giant, the competitive strength is also within the top five in Europe. Now, Audric is to Make Millwall more special and detached!
In the past, they were the strong among the weak, but now they are the king among the strong!
The pursuit of the team, the goals of the team, the spirit of the players, the inner pride, and the superiority of the outside world are to a certain extent.
This is no different from social phenomena.
Equality is the biggest joke.
Those who work part-time are divided into three, six, nine, etc., and those who are bosses are also distinguished between good and cheap. Why wouldn't the bosses of large enterprises have a sense of superiority? Why can't there be?
The same is true of the Greenery Field. Why does Manchester United Real Madrid feel so proud? Why do you have a temperament that disrespects the heroes?
Why do players frequently say that it is a glory to wear the jersey of a certain team?
In addition to the club's heritage and current strength, the biggest factor is the club's pursuit and goals.
Two years ago, Millwall could be said to participate in the Champions League one by one patiently, striving to go further.
Can I still say that?
It is a shame not to enter the quarterfinals!
Failure to enter the semifinals is a failure!
This is the foundation of Millwall's survival. The record pressure and goal pursuit are very different from the past.
As for whether Aldridge's words will cause psychological pressure on the players, Aldrich thinks this: wearing a mad lion shirt, you should be stressed, and have the ability and will to overcome the pressure!
At the end of the press conference, we only talked about the theme of tomorrow's game.
"Four years later, the East London Derby reignited the battle, and the gap between Millwall and West Ham has reached an indescribable distance. With such a huge difference in strength between the two sides, what kind of trend do you think the game will be? Wall won easily?"
Aldridge's expression was completely serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The significance of the East London derby is not the strength gap between the two teams. Millwall and West Ham United, the derby between the rivals, the competitive influence is definitely not as good as the Madrid derby and the Spanish derby. , Italy Derby, Milan Derby and other high-level levels, but the East London Derby lasted more than 100 years, the influence of the two teams of local fans is huge, such confrontation sentiment is inherited from the ancestors, and will continue to continue, four Years ago, West Ham United relegated. Four years later, they returned to the Premier League. Now, Millwall and West Ham United have met. This is not a game between the Premier League leaders and the Premier League relegation team. Simple, the decisive battle between dead enemies! If we lose the East London Derby, even if we win the championship, it will cast a shadow on this season, because we will make the fans reluctant to recall this season and recall the injury to the dead enemy. Pain, for the game, I have two words to say, the first is to the players of Millwall, this game has to work hard! The second is to say to West Ham United, don’t try to dominate the game in a brutal way, We will pay close attention to everything that happens in the game. You can foul on the field, but you can’t use violence. It’s a crime. If they use a brutal behavior that is beyond the scope of the game, Millwall will definitely pursue it and let West Ham Wings pay the price!"
...
Aldridge's public pressure on West Ham United brought him a warning from the FA and a fine of £5,000.
Even so, Fleet Street still believes that once a West Ham United player shoveled Lucas Neal into a serious injury in the game, the FA will still stand on the side of Millwall, and the party will be inevitably Heavy penalties are always imposed. After all, Aldridge and the English football team always take the same boat. This is the consensus of the outside world.
West Ham United coach Glen Rodell strongly protested and accused Aldridge's remarks. Because of Aldridge's influence, what he said caused a huge reputational loss to West Ham United. Aldrich fans may not know West Ham United. Listening to Aldridge’s words, it seems to him that West Ham United is a rogue team.
This made fans of the Hammer Gang explode.
Speaking of gangsters, ten years ago, the gangster name of the Hammer Gang was not as good as the mad lion!
Millwall is going north across the Thames to the Upton Park Stadium for the game.
More than half of the London police force was dispatched. From the morning of the game, they came to the radiation community of West Ham United in East London to maintain order. Mounted police were everywhere in the streets around the stadium. Millwall’s bus crossed the Thames and slowed down. The speed, under the protection of the police car lane, slowly drove towards the Upton Park stadium.
A large number of West Ham United fans greeted the arrival of the mad lion in a "traditional" way.
As Aldridge said, the East London Derby has never changed because of the difference in strength between the two teams.
When the mad lion is not as good as the hammer gang in the past, the hammer gang will not reduce the hatred of the mad lion at all, and will not despise the other party because it is high, and Millwall is the same.
Compared with the past, there are fewer fights between football hooligans, but there must be, it is estimated that in some abandoned stadiums and factories, the football hooligans of the two teams have already started fighting.
Millwall’s players sitting in the bus are hard to avoid being attracted by the hostile fans on the street outside the car.
They once visited the Devil's home in Turkey, where the fans seemed to see them go to the devil's den to watch them go to the execution ground.
And the attitude of the Hammer to help the fans is a bitter hatred.
Shouting to turn the crazy lion.
This kind of hatred is not relieved by victory. Even if the opponent dies, we must whip to celebrate!
Many West Ham fans can’t forget that, four years ago, Aldridge led the team in the case of winning the championship in advance, with a substitute team at the last minute to count down the West Ham United and directly send their beloved hammer In the hell-like British League, after four years in hell, they finally crawled back!
In this game, the Hammer Gang certainly has a low chance of winning, even at home, but besides victory, it is a war of blood and dignity!
This kind of hatred beyond the competitive field of 18,000 miles, many players in the Millwall team cannot understand, West Ham United has changed blood in recent years, and the players who want to play this game today will certainly be unable to understand.
West Ham United is now an authentic mercenary. The former European Garbage United is still living on cheap foreign aid. Although Millwall has players with their own youth training background, there is no real sense. Millwall descent player.
Like Pirlo, he belongs to Millwall youth training, but even if he has experienced the East London Derby, he still can’t understand where the hatred of the two teams came from. Only knowing that everyone hates each other, then follow the mainstream, only I hated it.
Ronaldinho, Miao Honggen's Millwall youth training products, he has more problems than anyone today, such as why the two teams hate and why there is such a big grudge, it can be seen that he actually can't understand the East London Derby.
Veteran players, like Southgate, Nedved, and Larson, have a hatred of West Ham. In addition to the influence of fans, it also stems from the fact that West Ham United shoveled Neil as a serious injury. .
No one knows what kind of professional height Neil can achieve. Since he was 16 years old, he has played the main role under Audridge. If it was not that serious injury, maybe he is not just a reliable substitute for Millwall now. For a player in the most critical age of growth, it is equivalent to at least half the talent!
Millwall, West Ham United, the players of the two teams, there is no doubt about the attitude of this game, they do not need to understand why hate between the two endless clubs, just need to know that this is the need of local fans !
Players' popularity and achievements are high, half of them rely on their own efforts, half rely on fans.
Without fans like you, you have no commercial value, without commercial value, there is no more media to promote for you.
If you don’t have the support of local fans, you won’t be happy at home, or even the other way around. If your home team fans boo you every day, won’t your competitive status be affected? The psychological pressure can be imagined.
So that slogan is absolutely correct: fight for the fans!
Millwall is a world-class club. It is not known how many fans like them around the world, but the most important and important thing is local fans. They buy tickets to watch games. This is the most intuitive economy. Interests, they cheer for the team and cheer for a certain player in the stands. This is also the most intuitive type of group interaction that can affect the players and make them feel.
After four years, Aldridge revisited the place and came to Upton Park Stadium again.
The whole team warmed up before the game. Aldridge was sitting alone in the locker room. He didn’t want to go outside to cause riots. He knew that every Hammer fan would like to shatter his body.
Because he not only led Millwall to defeat West Ham United, but also humiliated the Hammer Gang with a arrogant attitude.
This reason is enough for him to be remembered, and absolutely enough for him to be permanently hated by the hammer to help the fans.
In turn, it makes Aldridge loved by fans of the Lions more deeply, remembered and admired forever.
The players looked dignified when they returned to the locker room. When they warmed up, they felt the pressure from the stadium.
If going to Turkey is a visit to the Hell Stadium, then the game at Upton Park Stadium seems to have entered an unowned land, chaotic and disorderly, the fans in the stands yelled at them, throwing debris, the game did not start, A large number of security guards surrounded the stands, almost forming an alternative landscape.
Aldridge looked at the time and the game was about to start. He stood up and simply said: "In this game, you work hard to win the game and it is a hero. You lose the game lightly or relaxed, you are the fans who cannot be forgiven. Sinner, me too."
As soon as the words fell, Aldridge opened the locker room door and walked out.
This game is so simple.
Fight, win, is the hero in the hearts of fans.
Fear, lose, is the sinner in the hearts of fans.
No matter how much you have done in the past and how much you contributed, this game is independent and special, and it is also different from the match between Millwall and Chelsea.
Aldridge wore a warm coat today and walked steadily towards the court along the player tunnel.
When he had seen the natural light in the stadium, he had already waited for the two stadium security guards on both sides of the exit of the player's tunnel to turn around and protect him. When he walked out of the player's tunnel, the security guard raised his umbrella and hit Aldridge's head...
