Chapter 81: Simple fan

When the first round of the 95/96 English Premier League ended, Millwall's away game against Manchester United caused a sensation.
Fleet Street action unanimously made this game the headline of the news, no need to talk about various tabloids, and big newspapers such as "The Times", "Daily Telegraph", "Independent" and "Guardian" were all published on the front page headlines. Information about this game.
Among them, the headline page of "Independent" was most satisfying to Audridge.
The entire layout is two photographs. On the left, Aldridge’s upper body kneeling and celebrating, on the right, the scene of Millwall’s players exiting after the game. The masculine and toned players are centered in Nedved, Southgate. Players like Larsson, Larson, Makelele, and Pire were on the two sides. They wore jerseys on their shoulders, revealing the perfect muscle lines of the upper body. Almost all female readers were crazy after seeing it!
I have to say that Aldridge's team is headed by him, it is a team of handsome guys.
The straight and strong Nedvide and Trezeguet, the Pires with the French artistic atmosphere, the Schneider with the handsome sunshine, the baby-faced Solskjaer, etc., this is not considered to be on the list. Pirlo and Shevchenko...
Manchester United has always been the focus of news, and Millwall quickly caused a sensation in the English football after this battle.
Everyone seems to be asking: Is this the infamous rogue team Millwall?
Fans who have watched the game video paradoxically found that it was Manchester United who played the dirtiest on the field!
Many of Keane's rough moves are more obvious, and Millwall is more like an unyielding fighter, a lion who is persistent in victory.
Especially when Manchester United has a controversial penalty.
The ball critics expressed their opinions and analyzed the game. After the BBC Premier League highlights program with the highest ratings, they also invited many famous football players to express their opinions and technical and tactical reviews for this game.
After this dazzling Premier League first game, Millwall has quickly produced an effect across the UK. Although only a seed is sown, this is a very good start.
Aldridge is very grateful to the FA, Millwall's milestone Premier League first game, is to face the traditional giants like Manchester United.
And he strives to make the team simple and fast to make the team's offense pleasing, but also to attract attention.
In fact, Aldridge shakes the first season and tries to replicate the Nottingham Forest Miracle. There is another fatal reason. He needs Millwall's appearance in the Premier League and it is amazing!
Playing a conservative defensive counterattack may increase the success rate of the impact champion, but this is not enough to make Millwall famous.
Wenger's sixteen years in possession of Arsenal is not much more than the weighty championships brought by Graham's eight years of coaching Arsenal. He won one more league title than Graham, but there is no Graham's Europe. The winner's cup is only two more trophy in the number of domestic cups than Arsenal during Graham period.
However, Wenger's Arsenal is definitely more successful than Graham's Arsenal, which is beyond doubt.
The Arsenal game under Graham was satirized by fans as a library, making their fans feel desperate, while Arsene Wenger could make Arsenal’s Highbury unable to satisfy the growing number of fans. It also made countless neutral fans look forward to watching Arsenal's game. Even with the most expensive tickets in the Premier League, Arsenal's home attendance is still close to full.
Therefore, Aldridge wants the team to play beautifully, but such beauty must be based on practicality and efficiency. He firmly believes that there is no conflict between the two.
Now, neutral fans are starting to pay attention to Millwall, their fans can also hold high in East London, and the club’s jersey sales are booming. There are various signs that Millwall is soaring in the English football.
The next day of the game, the morning was off, and the team had restorative training in the afternoon. Aldridge walked out of the apartment at noon and was ready to walk to the training ground in less than fifteen minutes.
But when he just went out, he found that three people were blocked outside.
Brady, Fred, and Ewen were dressed casually and stood solemnly at the door of his house. Aldridge was startled and asked, "What are you doing?
"Aldrich, why didn't the club respond? Please tell us honestly, no matter what, we will keep it confidential, we will not betray friends from small to large."
Brady said verbatim.
Yi Wen squeezed the newspaper in his hand, and Aldridge took a look at it. The Manchester tabloid did not know where they got it from.
In addition to the war between Manchester United and Millwall, there is also a heavy news: Manchester United will take away Larson and Trezeguet! The Millwall Double Star will be for the Red Devils!
Aldridge laughed dumbly. Is there news so soon?
This is in line with the characteristics of the British media's pervasive prophecy.
It’s just that the message is incorrect.
Ferguson is talking about Larson or Trezeguet. He also knows that it is impossible to pack the two at once, because he can't let both play the main role, and one of them may be able to squeeze Cole and partner Cantona.
"There is nothing to say, things have not been decided yet."
Aldrich handed the newspaper back to Ewen, and found that she seemed a little absent-minded, and her bright eyes secretly looked behind him. Aldrich felt weird: What is good about my apartment?
"Aldrich, this is your answer. What do you think of us as a reporter? What is the decision? No, that means, you want to sell the club's hope?"
Fred exclaimed excitedly that although he was an immigrant, he lived in East London at an early age. Like Brady, they grew up watching the Millwall game from an early age, and finally saw Millwall returning. The top field has a promising future, but history seems to have returned to the trajectory of repeated past, like Sheringham and others who left.
Aldrich was disgusted with unreasonable accusation, he frowned: "Can you not guess, yes, I can decide whether to accept Manchester United's offer, but I also don't want to sell people, but they insist on going? Do I have to keep them? What is the point? Is it not to send them to the game in the future, or to let them stay in the team to get angry? I said I haven’t decided yet, I haven’t decided, I’m not the kind of club dictator in the past, I To be honest, if Larson or Trezeguet wanted to go to Manchester United, I wouldn’t really stop it. Why? If I were them, it was Manchester United throwing an olive branch at me. How many reasons could Millwall stay? Under me? The only thing that can give players is money and trust. If Manchester United gives them the same, and then compare other conditions, what can Millwall compare with Manchester United?"
The three of them bowed their heads when they heard the loss. They very much hoped that the players could cherish their loyalty to the club, but "loyalty" in football will become worthless with the material flow, how many people can refuse the temptation of fame and fortune ? Mo said that it is a general star, even if it is a Uranus superstar, how many can stick to old age?
"Sorry."
Brady bowed his head, he was just a little gazed after hearing the news, and Manchester United officials did quote two players in the morning.
Larson is seven million pounds, and Trezeguet is five million pounds.
As for who can negotiate, it is another matter. If Millwall agrees, Manchester United’s negotiating team can reach consensus with the players. Ferguson really does not mind that both players are taken away. After all, Trezeguet is still young.
Aldrich can see from their performance that they are just the simplest fans, support this Millwall, pay attention to Millwall's every move, and if something bad for the club happens, they will immediately be anxious to get angry.
He said to the three: "Okay, let it be. If you are a profitable club owner in your eyes, why should you come to me? By the way, don't you need to go to school today?"
Yi Wen raised his wrist to look at the exquisite watch, rumbling his ruddy cheeks: "It's too late now, forget it, skip class."
"Oh, the good girls who have grown up are also bad at learning! Don’t refer, don’t wait, wait, Brady, you drive my car, send Yiwen to school first, then you go to school yourself, Whatever you want."
Aldridge said, he opened the garage door and threw the BMW key to Brady.
The kid immediately got up and looked at the white BMW car, hehe smiled and said: "I will not come back if I drive away."
Aldridge shrugged: "Just do it."
The car was originally a toy that Arthur bought when the Hall family started a few years ago, and the grade was not high. At that time, it cost less than 40,000 pounds and was handed over to Aldridge. Now I am afraid that it is about 20,000 pounds. Value.
He usually hardly drives unless Melanie comes to date, watch movies or go to places like West London.
Yi Wen hesitated a moment before leaving, and then turned around and asked in a soft voice, "Are you still used to living here alone?"
Aldrich casually said: "It's a habit to go out alone in the past few years."
"Oh, all right."
Yi Wen seemed relieved, Aldridge felt strange, but didn't ask much.
When they drove away, Aldridge walked leisurely towards the training ground.
The neighbors living in this new community are either fans or team managers, or a family of players. When Aldridge passes by, everyone passing by will greet him enthusiastically, and when he is about to leave the community, He saw a teenager holding a football and rushing there, counting in his mouth.
"136,137,138..."
"David!"
"Ok?"
The 14-year-old gourd baby hugged the ball and turned back to see Aldridge. He suddenly trot with excitement and still said to him in Spanish: "Sir, I watched the game, Millwall is awesome , Better than Real Madrid Barcelona!"
Aldridge tapped his head lightly and smiled: "Call me boss, not sir."
Villa touched his head and smiled, "Boss."
"What are you doing here?"
"The coach said let us take a nap, but I can't sleep and just play here."
"You should sleep, otherwise the training in the afternoon may not be able to keep up, okay, time is almost up, go with me, and tell me how you feel after coming to London these days."
"Okay, I train during the day and learn English with my tutor at night. My parents say they are very satisfied with the life here..."
One tall and one short, it is more like the elder brother and the younger brother walked out of the community together and headed towards the Millwall training base.
