Salutes were fired, colorful bars flew, and again and again every time the tournament was boasted by Fleet Street as the strongest England in history, and finally stood on the top of the world again after 36 years!

When captain Southgate held the Hercules Cup high, the FA officials who came to Yokohama, from the chairman to the ordinary staff, stood up and applauded.

The smiling chairman Thompson was on everyone's mind, proud of the England team and respectful of the young coach.

This should be the strongest England in history.

Compared to winning the championship in '66, it has the advantage of winning the Hercules Cup overseas, especially outside Europe, this great achievement is enough to be called the first in the history of England!

When the players loved to hold the Hercules Cup for a kiss or pose for a pose, they didn't notice it at first, and there seemed to be a familiar person missing.

Only after they came back to their senses a little bit did they ask each other: Young marshal, where did you go?

Richard had a hunch while watching the game that something unusual would happen after today's final.

This hunch did not appear out of thin air, but when talking to Jennings, the tone of the conversation seemed to be convinced that Aldridge would step down from the manager's position, although it was not explicitly stated, but there were clues to follow.

He's just a guess, combined with the recent half-month lull of Millwall FC, compared to the previous season's vigor, Millwall is too unusual.

What must happen?!

When the award ceremony ended, Richard was shocked to be informed that it was his boss in London who had called him directly. He said on the phone in an almost growling tone, "Richard." me off to the press room at Yokohama International Stadium! Aldridge Hall, the bastard, contacted the BBC for a personal press conference before the final. He sold the BBC a big favor, why didn't you find out at the scene? Hurry up and get out of here, or else"

Before he could finish speaking, Richard hung up the phone, and then left a large group of reporters who were still in the dark to film the English players at the scene, and rushed to the press room of the Yokohama International Stadium with his legs.

On the way, he gritted his teeth: Aldrich, it's not kind!

He figured out why Jennings was the way he spoke. I must have learned the news before the final, and since he was a BBC reporter himself, it was not surprising that he had inside information.

The most influential media in the local area is undoubtedly the BBC, Aldrich is selling them a scoop, first-hand information, than notifying all the media in advance, so that everyone comes to interview at the same time, affirming that the BBC has taken the lead in the operation of this news, which is equivalent to owing Aldrich a favor. Although it cannot be measured in terms of economic benefits, it will be good for Millwall in the future.

Reporters from other media outlets on Fleet Street were also the first to get the news. The reason is simple.

In the UK, BBC5 is broadcasting live footage of England's World Cup triumph, but a more influential news station than Sport has teased Aldridge's personal press conference live after a brief interlude on England's World Cup triumph.

Even the mainstream media reporters from various European countries got the news and immediately rushed to the press hall of the Yokohama International Stadium.

When reporters from all over the world came to the press room, the BBC had all the preparations for the live broadcast, and the camera was focused on Aldrich on the stage, while the young marshal was still dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his clothes were not messy.

At this moment, some reporters were in a trance.

Eight years ago, the young man who broke into Millwall's post-match press conference was also in such a suit and leather shoes, and he was so calm.

The BBC staff doesn't mind other reporters breaking into the scene, as long as they don't make trouble, the paper can't hold the fire, anyway, the first-hand information has already fallen into the BBC's pocket, they are live broadcast!

Jennings sat in the first row of the offstage seats in front of Aldrich, and he was alone, and the journalist who had interviewed Aldrich in the past few years was the envy of his peers.

But everyone is curious, exactly, what is the young marshal going to do?

Seeing the staff gesture with a 321OK, Aldridge smiled and whispered: "At this moment, I can really take a breath, thank you to all the fans for their support, England team has a good result in the World Cup." ”

Good grades?

The reporters looked at each other.

Perhaps, yes.

The young marshal has always been very demanding.

'As England manager, I have a clear conscience in charge for the last year and a half and I am grateful to the players in the national team, and if there is any regret, it is that Steven Gerrard and Gary Neville missed the World Cup due to injury.

Gerrard?

Neville?

If Aldrich hadn't said it, no one would have thought of these two people at this time.

For some reason, there were reporters from Fleet Street at the scene who expressed sadness, and they could hear that the young marshal's words were a sign of farewell.

'I would also like to thank the members of the coaching staff who were with me, without them there would not have been every win in England and they were indebted. Eight years ago I took up the role of manager of Millwall, and after eight years, I now want to put my family first, so I will resign as manager of Millwall, from now on, the new manager of Millwall is Jurgen Klinsmann, he will return to London tomorrow for the official press conference of Millwall, and at the same time, my contract with the FA has expired, I will not renew it, I hope the England team can get better and better in the future! ”

rumble

The scene was in an uproar!

This is really damn sensational news!

Many reporters opened their mouths wide and their faces were full of astonishment.

The abdication of the world-famous young marshal?

Is the end of the Lion Dynasty?

In fact, when the news of the transfer of Pirlo and Zambrotta, the four absolute main players, came out, there was a consensus in the outside world: the Wild Lion Dynasty is over!

But this end doesn't mean falling apart.

In fact, because the team did not let go of the players when they were terminally ill, Millwall would be back at the top as long as they had to recuperate for two years! Because that's how they came!

But Aldridge stepped down from the head coaching position. The future trend becomes confusing and full of suspense.

In general terms. A team is divided into three main parts. The first part is the management, called the brain, the second part is the coaching staff, called the heart, and the third part is the players, called the limbs.

Aldrich's dual identity in the past made the decisions of the upper and lower levels consistent and the brain clear. The heart is strong, tempered with strong limbs, the mad lion is both stable and strong, you must know that the strong teams in Europe, many teams have unsatisfactory results, that is, these three parts have to fight and internal friction from time to time, and it is commonplace for internal loss to lead to a decline in strength.

And now that Aldridge has stepped down and the head coach has let someone else do it, then a large part of these three parts, a large part of which is marked with a question mark. It's not enough to have a clear mind and strong limbs, but not a strong heart. The strength can be imagined.

But at this time, many coaches and management of the European giants who got the news were relieved, and even ecstatic.

That young marshal, finally gone!

I have to say that the young marshal, known as the trophy harvester, not only has a reign of terror on England, but even Europe is prostrate at his feet, and his departure has made many European giants more ambitious for the Champions League.

In Barcelona, President Gaspart, while watching the BBC's live broadcast, gave instructions to his assistant: ask Millwall to buy Ronaldinho!

Real Madrid President Florentino got the news before the press conference that he got the news from Andrew, after all, it was a sure thing, Andrew sold the other party for free, and Real Madrid's management team was already running a shocking transfer at this time: to buy Henry from Millwall!

The offers sent to Millwall by the La Liga duo are confidential, but the initial offer figures, while not enough to break the world transfer value record held by Zinedine Zidane, are not far off.

Pirlo, Gattuso, Zambrotta, Materazzi left before, the absolute main force in Millwall's team remains, Nedved has not recovered from a serious injury, naturally no one cares, Larsson is over thirty years old, and there are no giants willing to spend a lot of money to buy, the younger ones who are at the peak are naturally Xiao Luo and Henry, if they also leave, Millwall may not only be as simple as a big drop in strength, almost the main team of the first team will be demolished and rebuilt.

Those who like Millwall may not like the England national team.

And Millwall fans around the world were stunned when they got the news

At this time, it was afternoon in England, and Ferguson was admiring the famous horse "Rock of Gibraltar", which he owned half of the ownership, when he suddenly received a call from his son, and after hanging up the phone, he lost his mind slightly, and immediately showed a ruthless color that did not match his age, and said with a low smile: "I wanted to retire back then, but I couldn't help but become a deserter, and you quit at the age of 26?" You really didn't take me seriously! Aldrich, don't cry when the lion is trampled under the feet of the Red Devils again! ”

Yokohama International Stadium Press Hall.

Aldridge has said the main thing he has to say and is now taking brief questions from BBC reporter Jennings.

'I'm very confident in the future of Millwall, in the last eight years we have built up a very good operating model, we have a lot of commercial resources, the club is debt-free, we are profitable every year, and we have the most valuable asset of football, which is talent, a lot of young players who are very talented and they will be the pillars of Millwall in the future.

Just as Aldridge was interviewed, another wave of people rushed to the press room, and the FA officials, headed by Chairman Thompson, did not have time to retain Aldridge again, but the other party directly explained to the world that he was leaving, so that he was helpless, but he could not have any hatred, after all, Aldrich brought unprecedented success to the FA!

Just as Thompson and a group of FA officials sighed, they saw another group of people coming, and this group of people had no Sven etiquette, and rushed directly to the place where Aldridge was in a chair, and looked at Aldridge with a stunned face.

There were security guards who tried to stop them, but the BBC staff immediately raised their hands to stop them, and many people waited to see the show.

Because the group of people who broke in were all the players of the England team, Owen was at the back, and Lu Xiaopang jumped in with one foot around his arm.

Bang!

Southgate placed the Hercules Cup on the stage in front of Aldrich, then took two steps back, and Southgate exclaimed, "Boss! Stay! ”

God knows when he says staying in his position at Millwall or as head coach of the national team.

But then, standing on either side of Southgate, Becky, McManaman, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Scholes, Neville, Ferdinand, Campbell came out of the crowd and grinned Owen in pain, and only the old goalkeeper Seaman stood at the back and watched the scene in front of him with a smile on his face.

I heard them shout in unison: "Stay!" ”

Their expressions are sincere, and their eyes are earnest.

Aldrich was dumbfounded, and all the reporters on the scene were also shocked by this scene, and the live broadcast of the BBC was still ongoing.

The whole world has seen the England national team, the whole team admonishes the soldiers, and retains the young marshal!
