Aldridge's days were on track after the first matchday of the Champions League group stage, as he spent more time training and preparation in England after being suspended for domestic games, and Jurgen Klinsmann was suspended, but even if he didn't, the on-the-spot command would still fall to Jensen.

Playing side by side with Aldridge for more than four years, plus the players in the team are familiar with Jensen, in terms of work, everyone agrees with Jensen very much, so Jensen directs the game, and the players are very obedient.

Prior to matchday 2 in the Champions League, Millwall played five games on domestic stage, coinciding with Aldridge's suspension, and progressed comfortably to the Carabao Cup, against four league opponents:

Home vs Liverpool.

Away vs Nottingham Forest.

Home vs Southampton.

Away vs Blackburn Rovers.

In these four league games, Millwall only won the home game against Southampton, the other three all suffered draws, and the big battle with Liverpool was Southgate's header before the end to force the opponent to equalize, and the other two away games were sniped due to the opponent's lack of strength and put on a stubborn tactic.

At the beginning of the new season, Millwall won 3 and drew 5 in eight league games, accumulating 14 points.

Manchester United have 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, and Millwall have the same number of points.

They are followed by Arsenal and Chelsea and Liverpool, with the same record with 3 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat.

At the beginning of the new season, the top five teams in the Premier League last season still occupy the position of the first group in the table, but there are no particularly outstanding teams, and the results of each round of the league can make a big difference in the top of the table.

Millwall are top of the table but are still being single-handed, especially by Fleet Street reporters, who believe Millwall will use Ronaldinho more in the league. A couple of draws at Millwall would have turned into victories.

Aldridge was suspended, he did not attend the press conference, and Jenson was forced to be questioned by reporters.

There is also a debate within Millwall's coaching staff about Ronaldinho's use, and Jenson is also inclined to let Ronaldinho play more leagues, but Aldridge firmly denies it.

Perhaps it is because Ronaldinho is so good that Aldridge will use him more cautiously, even if Jenson cites the example of Irving, who was almost full in the league last season and the 18-year-old was amazing. The World Cup is even more famous all over the world.

Aldridge doesn't debate with the other side, there is no point, time will tell, and at the beginning of a young player's career, the intensity and intensity of the game should be moderate. Otherwise, the impact on the future is invisible to the naked eye.

At the beginning of October, Aldridge returned to the sidelines to direct the team's game. In Wembley. Nearly 70,000 Lions fans poured into the field to welcome the young marshal's return after a brief absence from the command seat.

The flag fluttering in the stands is a hand-painted full-body portrait of Aldrich, which is particularly eye-catching.

Aldridge entered the stadium with his hands raised and his head applauded, thanking the fans for their enthusiasm.

Today's opponent is the Russian champion team Spartak Moscow, and the difference in quality between the two teams is more obvious, but Aldrich still sent the strongest squad to be on the safe side.

Glen Schal's injury against Inter Milan was not serious. Having trained with the team but not yet able to play, Aldridge started Van der Meyde, with the formation still at 442. In the past month, Millwall has been playing better and better, the attack and defense have become more balanced, and the tacit understanding between the players has also improved significantly.

Millwall had a clear advantage over the 90 minutes, sending Spartak Moscow away with three goals at Wembley thanks to goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nedved and Frank Lampard.

Millwall, who have won two in a row, are in a good position to qualify for the Champions League in the new season.

After the game, Aldridge simply gave an interview and disbanded the team and went home to rest.

He felt the team was starting to get back on track and everything was starting to work well except for injuries that made the squad thick problematic.

Just as I was ready to eat dinner while watching TV, the doorbell rang.

Aldrich went to open the door and found that it was Andrew, who walked in and went to the kitchen to get the cutlery, then pulled half of Aldrich's dinner for himself, opened a bottle of red wine from the thermostat, and poured it for the two of them.

"You lose weight?"

Aldrich asked with a frown, looking at the little food left on his plate.

Anyway, with this amount now, he must not be able to eat enough, but he is more curious about when Andrew's food volume has decreased?

Andrew laughed and said: "Before I came, I called a nearby restaurant to deliver food, I guess it's almost there, let's eat first, I will definitely not let you enter the kitchen again." ”

Aldrich's life has always been regular and planned, like cooking by himself, and there is also time to plan, and now that he has finished cooking, let him go into the kitchen to work, which will make him resist in his heart, Andrew understands him, so he has an arrangement.

The two began to eat dinner, and Andrew picked up the remote control and turned down the volume on the TV.

"I want to hear the news."

"The thing you asked me to do, I have eyebrows."

Andrew whispered with a smile on his face.

Aldrich stopped his movements and raised his head, and asked calmly, "What's the situation?" Work or life? ”

"Work, their own butts are not clean. What are you going to do next? ”

Aldrich thought for a moment and then said, "Then poke it to Fleet Street." ”

Andrew laughed and said, "Then you can send this news to your friends on Fleet Street." ”

Aldrich didn't have the slightest smile on his face, just stared at Andrew faintly.

After being stared at by him for a full minute, Andrew suddenly patted his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm stupid again, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

Aldrich continued to eat.

That same night, several Fleet Street media outlets were given secret news, all of which had little connection with Millwall, and were not even given the opportunity to speak and ask questions during interviews.

London, midnight.

Wiseman was already asleep with his wife in his arms in his bedroom at home, and he was woken up by the sound of a phone call, and when he picked up the phone, he heard the voice of his assistant Kelly in a daze, and he was immediately full of displeasure.

"What time is it? Don't you have to sleep? ”

"Sleep? Tomorrow you're stepping down from the presidency of the FA, can you still sleep?! ”

Kelly's panicked voice brought Wiseman to his senses, and he got out of bed. Walked to the living room and asked into the phone, "What's the matter?" What nonsense are you talking about! ”

"It's hard to say on the phone, I'm on the sidewalk at the south gate of the park outside your house, and we'll meet face-to-face!"

"But it's time."

"What you need most now is time! But God won't give you time, and when it's dawn, it's all over! ”

Wiseman had almost never seen a moment when Kelly was panicking, but with just a phone call today, he could imagine Kelly's restless appearance.

He put on his clothes and left the house.

Kelly waited for a long time to see Wiseman arrive, and the two met on the deserted street, and the two of them met on the street, and they deliberately hid in a dark corner.

"Why are you here?"

Kelly's tone revealed a strong smell of complaint.

Wiseman waved his hand and asked impatiently, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Kelly pulled a newspaper out of his bosom and handed it to the other party. Wiseman looked down, what could he see clearly in this black light?

He took the newspaper and walked to the street lamp to look closely, and found that it was not an official newspaper, but a sample before it was printed.

When he reads the front page headline of the newspaper sample page. Suddenly, his eyes widened and his face was shocked.

He didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until Kelly waved at him from the corner. He walked over with weak steps.

"This thing. Who leaked the news? ”

Wiseman asked, shuddered.

Kelly gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know." ”

"How did you get the news?"

"A journalist friend told me that it cost me £2,000."

Wiseman calmed down after the initial panic, and he inquired about Kelly's detailed process, and found that the newspaper where Kelly got the news was not a mainstream newspaper with a higher influence, such as the Times, which did not seem to have received the news.

"Someone the is trying to kill us!"

Wiseman immediately guessed that someone had stabbed him in the back.

It's easier to speculate.

The information channels of the big newspapers are wider, in general. Particularly heavy news will not be the first to be poked out by the tabloids, of course, scandals such as the private lives of public figures. It's not uncommon for tabloids to publish exclusive headlines, after all, their level is that grade.

But the news level of the newspaper in Wiseman's hands is necessarily not the field where the tabloids will work hard to establish information channels, and only the big newspapers will follow up.

If ordinary news sources make money by selling information, then the first choice is to sell the information to the big newspapers, so the income will be higher.

Therefore, the source must not be for the purpose of making money.

"Who the hell is trying to kill us?"

Kelly was a little bit of a god at this time, and his face became as hideous as a beast.

Wiseman pondered, frowning at the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Could it be an enemy within the FA?"

Kelly asked bluntly.

Wiseman directly denied it, saying: "No way, this scandal is too big a blow to the entire FA, if it is our opponent, it will indeed let us go, but will they get support?" Our internal strife also has a bottom line and principles, and if we harm the collective interests, we will only lose both. ”

Kelly fidgeted, stamped his feet and asked, "Who could that be?" ”

Wiseman really wanted to thank Kelly, and the other party's question made his thinking clear all of a sudden.

Since the element of internal struggle is excluded, there are only enemies other than the FA.

He suddenly thought of someone and lost his voice: "Aldrich-Hall! ”

Kelly was stunned, and then said suspiciously: "He? Isn't he afraid of becoming an enemy of the entire FA when he does this? ”

The more Wiseman thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

He said conclusively: "No, he is really not afraid, because there is no evidence, and afterwards we accuse him of being a troublemaker, which is more like throwing dirty water on him, and besides, we have no position to blame others, and besides, the FA also has his friends, and after that incident, his reaction was very abnormal!" ”

"Abnormal?"

Kelly recalled for a moment that after the match between Millwall and Wimbledon, Aldridge did not act aggressively except for taunting the referee for wearing a Wimbledon shirt at the press conference, obediently handed over the fine, silently accepted the suspension, and did not appeal.

Even though the Lion's Den was penalized and some of the stands were closed during his suspension, he remained silent.

It's very abnormal!

How is this like the young marshal who was resolute after the East London derby?

It turns out that dogs that bite people don't bark!

Isn't Aldrich, a grass mud horse, just a little unpleasant?

You're so ruthless, you're going to ruin us! (To be continued......)
