937 Aim for Dominance

Chelsea's "arms race" has reached a level that many fear.

Manchester United declared the new season with the defending champions in a strong position.

When people are talking about such and such changes in the Premier League team in the new season, Millwall, who had nothing to gain on the domestic front last season, after Aldridge threw out the remarks that "there is only one enemy", which can also be interpreted as "all Europe regards Millwall as an enemy, and they themselves are no exception", Millwall's transcendent status is still unshakable, and it is not that Chelsea can change the situation by buying whoever they buy, and it is not that Manchester United can change it if they win the Premier League title last season.

The outside world doesn't seem to think that Aldridge is arrogant, Millwall, who has half a team of world-class players, is still the number one public enemy in Europe, the first favorite of all championships, and the only one that can compete with it is only AC Milan, because AC Milan also has half a team of world-class players, plus they won the European Champions Cup last season, and Real Madrid also looks very competitive, and the Galaxy Battleship is famous all over the world.

On the opening day of the new Premier League, there was a light rain at noon, and when I took the bus to west London, the light rain was still washing the windows of the bus, and the whole Millwall team was very calm in the bus.

The newcomers may not be able to understand that Millwall has not made a single iconic declaration from the summer preparation to the official start of the new season, and the coaches in the team seem to have forgotten that there is a thing called "championship" in football.

"Our goal is the champion"

At the very least, this slogan should be shouted, right?

Millwall, however, did not. The interior is calmly eerie. Even the players seem to have forgotten about it.

They don't talk about championships. Have you had enough?

Still, they have been reborn, the champion gene is in the body, and there is a kind of champion temperament flowing in the blood.

Aldridge sat in the front row, which was his fixed position, and the seat next to him was now reserved for Stramaccioni, and Jensen had his own exclusive place. Or a position that shows a special status within the team.

It sounds like a child fighting for a seat, but in reality, this "order" is everywhere in the club, from the jersey number, to the fixed seats on the plane, and even the club's parking space

Aldrich watched the street scene outside the window recede, thinking about his thoughts.

The transformation of the third generation of the Lions is his most important job this season, not based on one or a few games. It will be a long-term work, and it will be necessary to lay a solid foundation. The third generation of the Wild Lion is not only back to the top of Europe, but also more brilliant than the second generation of the Wild Lion!

Goals, of course.

King of Europe? A new dynasty?

More precisely, he wants to make Millwall the Champions League champion!

The first generation of the Lions, the second generation of the Lions, won a total of four Champions League titles.

Now, they are tied with Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Ajax for third place in the Champions League title.

There are only two clubs ahead of them.

Real Madrid and AC Milan, 6 times each.

Take three more Champions Leagues and you can become the king of the Champions League!

Enjoy the status of the king above the pinnacle!

As for the domestic throne of the English top flight 18 times.

To be honest, Aldridge really doesn't feel realistic, he maybe, he won't last that long, because this time, he has set himself a retirement age in his heart, 40 years old.

Millwall have already won five Premier League titles, 14 more in at least 14 years, and he's 27 years old this year.

However, he believes it is only a matter of time before he overturns Liverpool's record as long as he truly takes Millwall to a near-immortal height before he retires.

Plans in such a big cycle are not something that can be achieved overnight, but Aldridge is no longer a fledgling boy, he is very patient, especially this time back to Millwall, he has changed his state, so that he can find a balance between career and family, work during working hours, leave all work behind the club, and there are many helpers around him to solve his problems.

And this Champions League champion is still Bert and Earl in the dispute with his father's request.

When Bert said that Millwall was the greatest team in the Champions League, Earl taught his brother a lesson, telling him that in the past, there was a team that won the Champions League 6 times before 36 years, and that AC Milan had won 5 Champions League trophies even if they didn't win the Champions League last season.

So, in order to insist on the correctness of his statement, Bert asked Aldridge to lead Millwall to win 7 Champions Leagues and surpass all teams!

Thinking of this, Aldrich smiled knowingly at the corners of his mouth.

"What are you laughing at?"

When Stramacioni saw the corners of Aldrich's mouth, he asked curiously, he was actually a little nervous, because he was going to be in the London derby for the first time, and he had to face the majestic Ruble Chelsea!

Aldrich said casually: "I'm thinking about the upcoming seminar in Zurich, Switzerland. ”

“FIFA? Does that have anything to do with us? ”

Stramacioni was even more curious.

Aldridge turned his head, looked at this handsome Italian guy of the same age as himself, and directly diverted the topic, saying: "I am not very satisfied with your work in the new season. Although you have analysed the table of each Chelsea player in different teams last season, the positions and characteristics of the players, as well as the coaching style of new manager Christian Eriksen, the prediction for this game is still blank. Also, for Millwall's assessment of this season, you have also done too one-sided, at the end of last season 5 consecutive league wins are not representative, I don't boast, but my return to the team's cohesion and combat effectiveness is stimulated, plus at the end of the season, among the 5 opponents, 3 teams have no desire to succeed in relegation, and 2 teams are aiming to draw in the Champions League, which is all variables, and Millwall won 5 consecutive wins, and in the new season, play these 5 teams again, will the situation be the same? Interior of Millwall. Do you think it will be the same? ”

Stramaccioni's face suddenly brooding. Although Aldrich's tone bordered on accountability. But he could understand that this was a reminder for Stramaccioni to learn from.

The second half of the game was a wake-up call for a dreamer, and Stramaccioni overestimated Millwall's form and strength in the new season, stemming from a devastating five-game winning streak in the closing stages of last season, which could not be used as a criterion because at that time. For a team that has no desire to succeed in relegation, there is no loss of face in losing to Millwall, what is the difference between 1 point and 0 points? The will to resist is not tenacious, but before the end of the new season, the same team, facing Millwall, 1 point and 0 points, the meaning is different. Especially the impact on morale.

'But the Chelsea game, the warm-up game, was not representative. They didn't give their all, they rotated a lot, Eriksen was looking at players, and I really can't make a reasonable prediction. ”

Stramacioni said cautiously.

Anyone can do this kind of thing, but when the team is preparing for the game, the prediction has to be absolutely cautious.

Aldridge raised his hand into a fist and slowly raised it in front of him, and said softly: "Abou spent more than 100 million pounds on reinforcements, what does Chelsea want?" Champion? Is it only the team that has spent money that qualifies for the championship? Bolton doesn't want it? Southampton doesn't want it? And what is a champion? Less than an hour for the awards ceremony? That trophy that rejoices for a few days in your hand? Hehe, haven't you ever thought about what exactly you want if you were Abu? ”

Stramacioni said thoughtfully: "Beautiful football? ”

Aldridge turned to look at him and asked: "Eriksen made his debut at Stamford Bridge and the boss watched from the stands, what do you think Eriksen will do at home with his achievements and style at Lazio?" ”

Stramacioni understood a little, but said bitterly: "It's possible to predict it like this, but I think this job should be cautious." ”

Aldridge shook his head and said: "Football is crazy, not scientific, if you don't have a crazy consciousness, then you can't get out of the framework of the Italian academic coach." ”

The Stamford Bridge was packed, and Chelsea made their official debut in the Abramoe era.

Chelsea fans sang like serfs, singing about the greatness of the team, celebrating Abu's heroism, and satirizing their arch-rival Millwall, with many fans displaying slogans in the stands.

'Millwall stars, want to play for Chelsea? Double your salary! ”

It was the after-effects of Bates' remarks at the airport, which were turned into slogans for Chelsea fans to greet Millwall after the Fleet Street hype.

Millwall fans have been extremely cynical and dismissive of Chelsea fans in recent years.

But now it's a different story.

Chelsea fans themselves are richer than Millwall fans, and now the club looks richer than Millwall FC as well.

It's like a Chelsea fan chanting: We're rich!

Hundreds of millions of pounds have been spent in the transfer market, which may be higher than Millwall's total investment in the transfer market in the past ten years!

Millwall fans laughed and soured the slogan: Money can't buy a champion!

Abu, the owner, appeared in the stands and was cheered on by the fans, and he looked down at the stadium leisurely, quite complacently.

When Aldridge walked into the stadium at Stamford Bridge, he was greeted with even more shrill boos than before.

He can clearly feel the confidence and confidence of the Chelsea fans!

Eriksen has played against Aldridge, and in the Champions League, Aldridge led the Lions to abuse Lazio, which is also a thing of the past.

Now that they met again, Eriksen took the initiative to shake his hand, Aldrich shook hands and patted the other party's elbow before turning and walking away, Eriksen's open mouth closed again.

There was something wrong with him in his heart.

It seems that in the eyes of the young marshal, he is a passerby, and a polite handshake is all there is to intersect.

It is clear that he does not pay the slightest attention to him.

At the pre-match press conference, Eriksen also complimented Aldridge and said that Millwall is strong and Chelsea are still in the run-in period.

Aldridge doesn't care whether the other party pretends to be a grandson or a real grandson, in his position, and the Chelsea manager, in front of the public, can only have etiquette, not "friendship".

Although if he is more enthusiastic, there will be no Lions fans to criticize him, but it will eventually make Lions fans feel awkward and uncomfortable.

This is a confrontation of positions, and it is difficult to change.

Walking to the front of the visiting team's dugout, Aldridge crossed his arms and raised his chin, his eyes sharpened.

In the Jin Yuan era, the wild lion wants to dominate the world! (To be continued......)
