The curtain of the Premier League has fallen, the defending champion Millwall's four-consecutive domestic domination was ended, and the three consecutive Champions League titles were also declared collapsed at the end of last year, the second generation of the Lions ended brilliantly in the summer of 02, and the first season of the third generation of the Lions was not on the right track as expected, but it cannot be overshadowed as the conclusion, in the end, the Lions maintain considerable competitiveness, this season's Champions League is not over, but to talk about the outlook for the Champions League next season, I believe no one will exclude Millwall from the favorite.

Aldridge returned at the end of the season to end with five consecutive league wins, and almost staged a miracle of overturning the Red Devils and Gunners at the last moment, which is embarrassing, and the outside world has a lot of discussions, and it is inevitable that the old accounts will be turned over, thinking that if Klinsmann can lose one less game, or draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford, then Millwall can achieve five consecutive league titles!

Unfortunately, there are no ifs, and if they were, Arsenal would have needed ifs more than Millwall.

What if they crushed Manchester United at Highbury?

If there is no draw and loss later, if you can win one more game, if

The season for Manchester United is over.

The Premier League champions are back in Manchester, the Premier League sky has changed from a dark blue to a red one, Manchester United has celebrated the title, and one of Manchester United's superstars has chosen to say goodbye as Manchester United returns to glory.

Although it has not yet been released, many insiders have already learned about the attitude of Manchester United Club, supporting Ferguson and letting Xiaobei leave.

Becky was received by the Queen of England and awarded the OBE Officer of the Order of the Order, and then prepared to report to the England national team.

Arsenal's season is not over yet and they are in a state of intense preparation. Three domestic trophies. Liverpool and Manchester United each took one. There is also an FA Cup that will be contested by Arsenal and Southampton.

Millwall, formerly known as the trophy reapers, were empty-handed on the domestic front, and this was the first time since the 95-96 season.

Although they have actually won three trophies this season, that is too much to mention.

However, Fleet Street did not dare to make a big fuss about this, after all, Millwall still had a trophy to fight for. It's not too heavy, but you can't ignore it.

UEFA Cup!

Late May.

Aldridge led his team to Seville, Spain.

Millwall came early, and in the past, it was normal for them to arrive two or three days early for European finals, but this time, they arrived four days early.

Why?

Spain has great scenery, good weather, everything but the economy!

Instead of preparing for war in that hellish place in London, it is better to come to this beautiful place to prepare for battle. The mentality will be different, play the final. Aldrich has always advocated that a relaxed mind is best.

When this season's UEFA Cup kicked off at the Olympic Stadium in Sevilla, two young men met on the sidelines as managers.

Although the UEFA Cup cannot be compared with the Champions League, because of these two coaches, this year's final seems to have added a lot of color.

Because they are too young.

One is Aldrich Hall, who is 27 years old tomorrow for his birthday.

The other is Jose Mourinho, who is just 40 years old.

Is 40 years old young?

Of course, in football, this is the age of a young coach, and how many managers can stand on the field of European finals at the age of 40?

Aldridge and Mourinho have known each other for a long time, and Mourinho can be regarded as a witness to some of Aldridge's glory.

He was next to Robson, Van Gaal, didn't they all witness Barcelona being defeated by Aldridge?

Not to mention that he had personally visited Aldrich when he set up his own door, but that meeting ended in displeasure.

In fact, if Aldridge had not returned to Millwall, he probably wouldn't have remembered the magic bird most of the time, and it was only when he defeated Celtic to advance to the final that he realized that the final opponent was Porto from Portugal, and Mourinho was the manager.

When he was first coaching, Aldridge really secretly fantasized about when he would meet Mourinho as an opponent on the field.

Among the countless images he envisioned, the 03-04 Champions League was used as the background.

However, there is always a gap between reality and fantasy, but I didn't expect it to be ahead of schedule, and it was actually on the stage of the League Cup.

When he came to the sidelines, Aldridge saw Mourinho with one hand on the baffle above the coach's box, and the other hand on his waist was very cold.

Seeing his posture at this moment, Aldrich always had a feeling of wanting to laugh, because the other party was obviously 40 years old, but he had a kind of show, acting cool.

At the beginning of his coaching, Aldridge always cared about his posture and image, hoping to leave a deep impression on the outside world and strengthen his sense of existence, which can be regarded as a kind of hype for show.

Aldridge walked over with a gentle expression, and the closer he got to Mourinho, the more he wanted to laugh.

Mourinho had seen him early in the morning, and the two even had a line of sight, but Mourinho deliberately diverted his gaze, as if Aldridge did not exist zài, or, as a passerby.

This is certainly not an escape.

It's a gesture of contempt!

There are quite a few real people in their eyes!

Until Aldridge walked in front of him, Mourinho's posture did not change, but his eyes were fixed on Aldridge's gentle face.

Aldrich took the initiative to stretch out his hand and greeted: "Long time no see." ”

Mourinho changed his posture, held his head high, stretched out his hand with a stern expression, and said solemnly: "Hello, I'm Jose Mourinho." ”

Aldrich couldn't help but shake his hand, and turned his head to smile silently.

The other party seemed to see Aldrich for the first time, and solemnly introduced himself.

Aldrich was a little confused.

In the end, does the other party really despise him, or does he want to remember him!

The last time he came to Aldridge's house as the coach of Benfica, Aldridge questioned whether the position was stable, which made Mourinho leave in anger. But in the end, Aldrich proved right. He didn't stay long from Benfica.

This made him care more about Aldrich's existence.

A person who can say "God is the eldest and I am the second". Of course, he has the ambition to swallow the sky, and the requirements and goals will be very high, the requirements are for himself, and the goals are for the world.

Football is a competitive sport, and it is natural to compare the strength and weakness of the competition.

Jose Mourinho is certainly aware of beating Aldridge and may be in Portugal. His stage is not enough to directly challenge Aldridge, but since they met in the final of the League Cup today, it can be regarded as an opportunity of chance.

Mourinho obviously doesn't want to have any more pleasantries with Aldridge, he's a bit strange, and Odridge seems to be weird anyway.

If you go through Mourinho's resume from beginning to end, you will find that this is actually a wonderful inspirational story!

His playing career was unsuccessful and unknown. It ended early, and he wanted to be a coach. As a translator, as an assistant, learning from many people, even to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, especially in Spain, he will always take out some of his crazy ideas to discuss with people in the football circle, and was despised by those in Spain, ridiculed, and even isolated, marginalized, and then he returned to Portugal to start his coaching career, although there were twists and turns in the early days, but after all, it was a very fast speed of success!

How damn it is to make a movie, how inspirational!

However, Mourinho tried his best to deny some of his past, people said that he was a translator, he was unhappy, as if he was ashamed of that time and did not want to mention it, as if others were exposing his scars, as if he wanted to be born into a famous family, born strong, born winners, and unique successes under the light of God.

As for the feud between him and Barcelona, it has a lot to do with the history he doesn't want to admit.

Anyway, Aldridge thinks this is a very strange phenomenon, just like Italy once ridiculed Millwall, and many media ridiculed his "nonsense" when he first coached, and even many former celebrities in England relied on the old to guide him on how to be a new person, but Aldrich will not be obsessed with it afterwards, especially, especially after the great success, he will not take it to heart, why bother?

My success itself is a slap in the face of all negative voice makers, and in terms of posture, be humble, isn't it more able to win the respect of others? It can also highlight how noble and broad-minded he is.

Maybe people have different worldview values from person to person, anyway, Aldridge and Mourinho are definitely not the same kind of people, there are many enemies on the other side, Aldridge is a lot of opponents, and there is no kind of undying grudge in my heart.

Now, Mourinho doesn't dump Aldridge, shakes hands, says a few words, and ends.

Aldridge was a lot more enthusiastic, and many people in the Porto coaching staff shook hands, and when he was about to go back, Aldridge found that Mourinho's face was really not funny, and he didn't surprise the other party, how could he say it?

So, Aldridge passed by Mourinho as he walked back and whispered something in his ear.

Mourinho frowned and wondered at first, but before Aldridge took three steps, his complexion changed greatly, his blood surged, and he said angrily: "Grass, that stinky boy back then, it turned out to be you!" Or are you kidding me! ”

Aldridge turned around and saw that Mourinho, who finally stopped being cool and changed, seemed to be chasing him out, Aldrich smiled, winked at him and said: "Back then, there was a very good human body and chased me for half a street, but unfortunately I grabbed my ears and screamed and fainted." ”

As he spoke, Aldrich grinned and spread his hands and slowly retreated.

Mourinho took a step forward, as if to settle the bad debts of the year, but he held back.

An assistant next to him asked him what was going on.

Mourinho calmed down and shook his head and didn't say anything.

Then, he laughed angrily.

What Aldrich had said in his ear just now, which he had forgotten, could be repeated in the same tone, with a similar accent, and he quickly remembered it.

Time rewinds to ten years ago, Mourinho was still in Portugal, Robson had just come to Portugal to coach, Mourinho became Robson's translator, a very simple translator, Robson needed Mourinho to translate when he attended the press conference.

And at that time, a young journalist openly asked: "Mr. Mourinho, when are you going to become a manager?" ”

This kind of thing, when it was said on that occasion, was not only off-topic, but also suspected of being framed in the ears of Mourinho.

His boss is sitting next to him, and he's the head coach?

Is it a rebellion?

Plus Robson doesn't understand, in case someone paraphrases, will this affect his relationship with Robson?

Mourinho, who was also young at the time, was furious, not only expelled the young journalist, but then chased the man outside the club, wanting to ask what the other party wanted to do!

Unexpectedly, the two almost staged a street fight, and in the end, Mourinho let the kid run away and went to the hospital to check his eardrums instead

It turns out that kid is Aldrich!

It was many years later that Mourinho learned the truth, he didn't like it, he could guess, maybe it was just a joke, but he was kept in the dark.

This is not the first time he has met Aldrich, in the past few meetings, Aldrich has not mentioned this matter again, if Aldridge does not say, maybe, Mourinho will not know the truth for the rest of his life.

But now that I know, it seems, the mood is even worse.

It seems that he has been played as a monkey by the other party for many years

Mourinho, who was smiling angrily, gradually became hideous. (To be continued......)
