In the 36th round of the Premier League, Old Trafford attendance fell by about 10%, and the opponent was Millwall.

Maybe it's because United's season is over and they're all four.

Maybe because Millwall will definitely send a replacement.

Perhaps, Red Devils fans don't want to see the team lining up at home to welcome their biggest rival in the league today, and losing to that opponent.

Millwall fielded all substitutes and the United players lined up to welcome them as they walked out of the tunnel.

Such a scene is rare, the biggest opponent of the championship, welcoming the other side at home, seems to be peaceful, and the cruel reality behind it is only felt by the parties concerned.

Manchester United's players have bitter hearts.

With 81 points in 35 rounds, this is the highest season in the 38 rounds of the Premier League's 20-game restructuring, proving their progress, but the league is not over yet, and Millwall has snatched the title.

When the Millwall players walked out, the Red Devils will start to applaud, but this applause is obviously not for this group of Millwall substitutes, and many Red Devils players involuntarily cast their eyes on Aldridge, who walked to Ferguson's side on the sidelines.

That man, step by step, made the Wild Lions strong, and then trampled Manchester United under his feet, at least, in the past four years, when Millwall won the league title, the biggest competitor was Manchester United, maybe this pattern will continue in the future.

Ferguson has lost this season, lost again, and did not sneer at Aldridge at this time, and the two Premier League coaches stood on the sidelines and chatted lightly.

Ferguson at this time. In his mind, he probably thinks about the same as Wenger.

What is Millwall's secret to producing so many good players?

Ferguson is not someone who wants to dig Millwall, take a look. Who else can Manchester United poach? Finding a partner for Stam? Left wing-back? Goalkeeper?

Poaching alone is not a tradition for Manchester United, and what Ferguson wants to do is to improve the level of youth training at Manchester United, and in this regard, Millwall seems to be the only one in Europe.

So the topic of the two chatting on the sidelines was the youth training, but Aldridge did not hide his selfishness, and talked at length and talked endlessly, what to observe the players. Targeted training, teaching students according to aptitude and other familiar theories.

When Ferguson couldn't take it anymore, Aldridge chuckled and walked back to the visitors' dugout and sat down.

There is no record pressure in this game. As for the unbeaten golden body advertised by public opinion waiting for Manchester United to break, Aldridge doesn't care very much.

However, on the bench, Manchester United is the main force, and there is a gap in the strength of the two teams. Millwall are clearly the underdogs. Therefore, it is reasonable to strike and defend against counterattacks in a targeted manner.

It was a great game, with Beckham opening the scoring and Kerr adding a netter before Wicente set up Frank Lampard to pull a goal back just before half-time.

In the second half, United seemed to be trying to control the situation on the pitch and tried to play Millwall on the counter-attack, but Millwall took advantage of the limited chances. Klose and Glen Schal scored from the side that came close to upsetting United on the road, with Paul Scholes' 75th-minute goal saving face at home.

Aldrich could tell. The Reds looked a little distracted in the game, wondering if it was too hard to beat him by being one step away from the league title for the fourth year in a row, Ferguson was furious on the sidelines, and he vowed before the game that the Reds would not be discouraged, and the result was a completely different game.

Although Millwall came off the bench, they didn't want the team's unbeaten streak to end in their own game, so they worked hard.

The score is 3:3.

Millwall was out of the way at Old Trafford.

Millwall then finally came to an end of a busy week of double-match fixtures.

In May, Millwall officially held a press conference, which was hosted by Evan, to promote the promotional video of Millwall's Champions League final.

Compared to two promotional films launched by Millwall two years ago, there is only one this year, and it is in the form of a combination of animation and reality.

In terms of content, there is continuity with the animated promotional video from two years ago.

Two years ago, it was the blue lion that symbolized the wild lion that ran to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for the closing scene.

This year's trailer begins with a blue lion sleeping soundly in the forest, with a large silver ear cup engraved with the year 1998 engraved next to his belly.

The male lion was suddenly shot into the eyes by the light, and when he opened his eyes, he raised his head in a daze, and looked in one direction, and in the distance the light flickered, and another large-eared cup could be faintly seen floating in the air.

The lion embarks on a new journey, defeating one enemy after another on his way, but the scene turns, and the blue lion returns from a city scarred to the city behind him, where a German chariot is circling the city walls.

Defeat Munich!

This is last year's Champions League story.

However, the injured blue lion reinforces himself in the forest, and with a turn of the camera, the majesty is revived, and the Champions Cup is back on its way.

At this time, the picture will be interspersed with the shocking images of Millwall's wonderful goals in the group stage in two stages this season, beating AC Milan, defeating Lazio, losing Bayern Munich, beating Real Madrid, and when the series of goal feasts is over, the picture will turn again.

The mighty blue lion stepped on a new land, the earth trembled, and the scene behind it was gray, with a blue eagle falling from the sky, the white giant collapsing, and the German chariot falling apart and the wheels rolling alone.

There is a strange creature in this land, a flock of chickens, Gallic roosters flapping their wings and jumping up from the trembling of the ground.

At the heart of this flock of Gallic roosters is a brand new European Champions Cup trophy that looks beautiful in the sun.

The blue lion walked forward step by step, and with each step, the surrounding Gallic roosters jumped, and the scene was very dramatic, just as the Gallic roosters parted a way to let the special effects render the blue lion that seemed to be full of a demonic force through the sky. Suddenly, there was a sound, and the lion looked up at the sky, and from the horizon it seemed like a huge dark cloud moving rapidly. It is shading out the sun, making the whole land gray.

It was only clear when the dark cloud came from far and near, it was a dense group of countless bats, their eyes glowing red blood, this group of bats hovered over the Champions Cup trophy like a huge tornado, and then the swarm began to dive down the ground, aiming for the Champions Cup trophy.

The blue lion laps the ground. The Gallic roosters scattered and fled, and a lion's roar resounded through the sky.

The screen goes black, and three lines of large characters appear in the center of the screen.

Champions League final

Millwall vs Valencia

The most rear. It was the Millwall players and manager Aldridge who appeared collectively at the bottom of the screen.

Although the production cost of this promotional film has decreased compared to two years ago, the effect is very good, and it is still widely praised after promotion.

Millwall is not just going to make a promotional film when they are full, they just want to visualize some things in their impressions. Specific. In this way, you can make money.

Just like the blue lion in the picture, two years ago, there were two versions of Millwall souvenirs that sold very well, a young blue lion cub and a grown lion, children under the age of ten like it, and female fans also like it.

These things, if the club does not take the initiative to materialize it. How can its symbolism appear out of thin air?

Could it be that a lion dyed blue means that it represents Millwall? Fool who!

But the official release of the promotional video, club souvenir sales out of the shelves. That's different.

Fleet Street teased Millwall: Millwall could have switched to filmmaking.

The promo became popular in England and was even more popular than two years ago because Millwall had more fans.

Making a movie?

Aldridge really thought about it, but not a personal biography, but a Millwall club, which could become part of Millwall's commercial promotion and bring wider visibility and benefits to the club.

Millwall prepared for the game, Aldridge kept his job on track, and in the penultimate round of the Premier League's London derby, he played the game with his full squad and left the final game to the substitutes, who will have more than 10 days off from the Champions League final and FA Cup final, before playing two finals a week.

Against Tottenham, Millwall was in good form, especially Larsson's further recovery, which was good news for the whole team, and the only concern was that Makelele still couldn't reach the Champions League final.

Millwall extended their unbeaten run with a 4-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur and reached 97 points in the table, and if they can win the final round, they will eventually win the title with a record 100 points, which will also be a new record for the top five leagues, based on the league's 20 teams.

There is only one game left on the Lion's Den Stadium, and that is the closing game.

As a result, after the game, the team will be thanking the fans for longer than ever, and Aldridge has also taken to the sidelines to take photos with many fans.

Just one day before the finale, Aldrich noticed that an employee had been absent from the day's training, and their fitness coach, Ms. Fiona.

So he called to inquire and got terrible news.

Fiona accidentally fell down the stairs at home last night and broke her bones and needed surgery in the hospital.

After the training, Aldridge bought a bouquet of flowers to visit the hospital on behalf of the club, and moreover, he has worked with Fiona for many years, and there is still a working friendship, especially under the premise that the team is about to play the Champions League final, every staff member should go to enjoy the glory of the club together, but she may not be able to go.

When he came to the hospital, Aldrich walked outside the designated ward, knocked on the door and heard the sound of inviting in, he pushed the door and entered, and saw Fiona lying on the hospital bed, and there was a man sitting next to the bed, which should be her husband, the man who ran a farm in the country, and a girl sitting on the edge of the bed, dangling two snow-white long legs, observing Aldrich curiously, and suddenly smiled, and said, "I remember you, Mr. Hall!" ”

"Rosie, don't be rude."

Fiona scolded her daughter from the hospital bed, but Aldrich didn't remember the little girl, he shook hands with Fiona's husband, then put down the flowers, and began to talk to Fiona, asking about her condition and expressing condolences.

Before leaving, Aldridge handed Fiona five tickets, saying: "Everyone in the club wants you to go to Paris with us, even if you are in the stands, but if you can't, don't force it, health comes first." ”

Fiona was also frustrated and sighed regretfully: "It should be very difficult, I also want to be with the club, Aldrich, can I ask you one thing?" ”

"Huh? What's up? Even if you say it, I will definitely promise you if I can. ”

Fiona's gaze turned to her daughter, the little girl Aldrich had a little bit of resistance to her. (To be continued......)
