In Europe, in addition to the strong relationship influence of the club in the local area, such as sworn enemies, derbies, cooperation, etc., there is also a special relationship between the giants.

Millwall becomes a new giant, and you don't want to make enemies everywhere in this circle, that's no good, just like the G14 can challenge UEFA, you offend all the giants who can influence the rules, then this is self-defeating.

At the level of the giants, you also need to broaden your way to do the player business, because you need players at the world level, and when Millwall can't support themselves one day, it is better to have more ways to bring in reinforcements than nothing.

Like Juventus in Serie A, without respect for Millwall, Millwall will naturally not establish a good basis for dialogue or cooperation with the other party.

However, a club representative like Galliani has not made a contribution to Millwall over the years, but at least he has a good cooperation experience with Aldrich, which has increased the foundation of mutual trust and respect, and then built a good relationship.

Millwall can enter the G14, AC Milan's efforts can not be ignored, although that is Galliani wants Millwall's player, but in terms of the effect of cooperation, both sides take what they need, there is no who loses what, or who encroaches on the interests of the other, this situation is Aldridge's favorite.

He also does not expect Millwall to have the foundation of Manchester United's relationship with Real Madrid for nearly half a century, like the Bernabeu, a great Real Madrid man, who can help Manchester United at its lowest point, and be able to say when Real Madrid, which dominates Europe in the sky, loses to Manchester United: If Real Madrid has to lose, I am happy to lose to Manchester United.

Such an intersection of giants in the past. Millwall has no conditions. There is no capital. Now, they're actually creating a topic and immortal legend that fans will talk about fifty years later, a hundred years later.

Because of this, Aldridge invited AC Milan, the ruler of the previous European football dynasty, to the opening match of the new stadium at Millwall, and Galliani happily agreed, which in itself is a manifestation of the continuation of the friendship between the two sides.

Millwall wanted to unveil the new stadium in a dignified manner. Of course, a decent opponent is needed, and looking at Europe, there are only a handful of clubs that can have a stronger influence than AC Milan in terms of history.

After laughing and talking to Galliani, Aldrich pushed open the door of a VIP box, which was crowded with people, and when he walked in, the scene fell silent.

Arthur Ha Da Lu laughed and rushed to Aldrich and grabbed him. Then he put away his smile and shook Aldrich's hand seriously, and said in a deep voice, "Congratulations." Son, you have become the greatest man in the Millwall Club, well, you are a hero to all Millwall people! ”

Aldridge grinned, put his backhand around Arthur's neck, and said, "Aren't you also a hero?" Mr. President. ”

"Hahaha, I'm just touching your light, everyone knows it, I'm just a mascot, ornament."

"Hah, mascot? Exorcism? Ha lu haha. ”

After Aldridge separated from Arthur, he hugged his eldest brother Barnett, and then bent down to talk to his nephew Bowen.

The box was large and crowded, and in addition to Aldrich's family, there were also their friends, Aldrich's friend Carter, who was also here.

Last, he walked to the corner of the box, where Melanie was standing, and in the comfortable seat in front of her, Bert and Earle, two one-year-olds, looked curiously out the window at the view of the court.

Next to them, a little boy of more than a year old also sat quietly in the seat, behind the seat, a fashionable couple looked at Aldrich with a smile, and the seat was the crystallization of their love, the eldest son Brooklyn.

"Congratulations, Mr. Hall, today is a big day for you and Millwall."

"Thank you, David."

Aldridge shook hands with Beckham, who was dragged by Victoria, who was presumably with Melanie.

Aldrich turned his gaze to Melanie and Victoria, and smiled: "Congratulations, the new album is very popular." ”

Victoria asked sharply, "Did you buy it?" ”

Aldridge was caught off guard and said embarrassedly: "Uh, I'm busy with work, so, uh, the new season starts soon, and I'll give every player a copy of your album." ”

Victoria smiled like a flower, turned her head to Melanie and said, "Look, men are like this, they flatter you with their mouths, but they actually do nothing, and they will make up for it after they are exposed." ”

Melanie smiled and didn't speak.

Victoria gave Beckham a look, and Beckham picked up Brooklyn, and they went to the other side of the box, ordered some food, and sat down to taste it.

Aldrich walked around to his seat and crouched down to appear in front of Bert and Earl's eyes, and the reaction of the two little ones stunned Aldrich.

"Daddy!"

Aldrich looked at his two sons in disbelief, raised his head to look at Melanie, and asked, "Will they talk?" ”

Melanie saw Aldrich's "frightened" expression and covered her mouth and smiled.

When she had laughed enough, Aldridge hugged her two sons and kissed them enough, she sighed: "They seem to know people already, you haven't been to Liverpool before, they kept touching the TV screen with their hands one day, because the TV is playing the press conference you attended in Asia, and then I took your picture and taught them to call Dad, and the effect is not bad, at least I didn't encounter people screaming." ”

Aldrich gently held the hands of his two smiling innocent sons, and felt a little guilty in his heart.

Originally, he planned to go to Liverpool when he returned to London, but in time for Rooney's incident, he canceled this plan, fearing that the media would surround him and disrupt the lives of his son and Melanie's parents.

Aldridge looked at the time, it was time for him to go to the stadium to direct the game, reluctantly kissed the foreheads of his two sons, then stood up and walked up to Melanie, and asked softly, "Can you let them stay in London for two days?" ”

Melanie stared into Aldrich's eyes and asked, "Why don't you let me stay here?" ”

Aldrich looked away and shook his head, "This topic has been talked about for a long time, and it is over. ”

He has a new life, but he and Melanie are not at odds with each other. Because he was the father of Bert and Earl. Melanie is a mother. This relationship is estimated to make it impossible for him and Melanie to draw a line and become passers-by in their lives.

It's just that Aldridge now wants his two sons to stay in London for a few more days, and the father and son can stay together longer, and they must have Melanie's consent.

Melanie was silent for a moment with a soft expression, then nodded, "I'll pick them up in three days." ”

Aldridge smiled and nodded, greeted the others and left the box, muttering on the way to the stadium: I want two days, you give me three days. What the hell are you thinking

From the moment Aldridge appeared on the pitch and walked into the audience's field of vision, the cheers of the entire stadium did not stop for a moment, and the momentum became louder and louder.

Millwall's various fan groups took over the stands in an orderly manner, and at the edge of the upper stands, fan groups hung banners drawn by themselves.

One of them displays the trophies that have been won in each of the last six years, in the 94-95 season it was the League One trophy, and in the place before '94, the fans wrote down one word: wait

What to wait for?

The outside world interprets it as waiting for Aldrich, the king, to arrive!

Lion's Roar fans "dominated" the South Stand, and a huge portrait hung above the stand. Aldridge's upper body is hand-drawn and is an image of him directing the game with his fingers on the field. In the background is a lion on the Millwall crest, with a line of slogans next to it: King of Europe!

Other stands also featured banners from major fan groups, such as Nedved's avatar rendered as an Iron Warrior and labeled as the God of War!

Xiao Luo's dexterous dribbling action moment is marked as an elf.

Henry's fist clenching and roaring with Larsson is marked as the King of Killers

These fan organizations make their own slogans or banners hanging in the stands, after passing the club's review, as long as there is a positive significance, they are allowed to hang in the stands for a long time, as long as it does not affect the audience's sight, and at the same time meets the requirements of the field, then the club official will not be removed, and other fans are not allowed to change it privately, even if it is to be removed in the future, it will be the result of negotiations between the club and the fan organization, assuming that Larsson transfers tomorrow, about his banners and slogans, he will definitely not be able to continue to stay in the stands.

Before the start of the game, Aldridge first shook hands with AC Milan manager Zaccheroni, thanked the other party for leading the team to this meaningful warm-up match against Millwall, and apologized.

The game will be delayed for a while, because Millwall's family photo this year is intended to be held on this day, at this moment, at the unveiling ceremony of the new stadium.

It's not just the Millwall Club staff who have taken family photos of Millwall this year, countless sideline reporters on Fleet Street have been taking pictures, eager to capture today's footage from all angles.

All members of the Millwall first team took to the scene in new shirts for the new season, pushing the atmosphere to a new climax.

The staff set up the benches on the pitch, and Aldridge called the coaching staff into front of him with a smile on his face, and he was still in the mood to joke.

"Vilas, your tie is crooked!"

Aldridge shouted, Boas immediately looked down at his tie, and then asked Klinsmann to help him see if it was neat, Klinsmann laughed: "He played you!" ”

The first-team coaching staff sat on the bench smiling, with Aldridge in the centre smiling and the first-team players standing behind them.

The photographer who took the photo raised his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Aldridge, can you take care of your players?" ”

Aldrich put on an expression for a long time, but when he didn't see the photographer say OK, he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Look who's behind you."

Aldrich turned his head to look, Xiao Luo, who had a serious expression, put his hands behind his back and held his head high, Aldrich didn't have to guess what was going on, and scolded with a smile: "Be honest with me!" Didn't want to clean you up today! ”

The teammates around him laughed, and Xiao Luo had been gesturing around Aldrich's head just now.

After the photographer gave a thumbs up, Millwall's first-team family portrait of the new season was completed.

Aldridge waved to the sidelines again and told Nagy to bring the rest of the youth team coaches and players into the pitch.

Either way, this year is a milestone year with a positive impact on the whole club and he hopes to make it feel felt by the youth team today.

The group photo of more than 100 people was less formal, with Aldrich standing in the middle with his arms around Najib's neck, and the front was full of people.

Suddenly, a head drilled in front of him, Aldrich looked down and found that it was Ronaldo, only to see this kid ask confidently: "Boss, why didn't I appear in the first team's squad?" I think I can play in the Premier League! ”

Aldridge mercilessly pushed Ronaldo's face back and said with a smile: "I asked you to play in the Premier League, do you want to be crippled when you are underage?" Be honest and patient, and I'll win the Youth League and the FA Youth Cup next summer. ”

"Then I can play in the Premier League?"

Ronaldo turned back to Aldridge and asked questions, as if he was talking about a deal.

Aldridge had to continue to push his face to make him face to the camera, and laughed and scolded: "You get me back the championship trophy first!" Brat! ”

"I'll be an adult soon!"

"I'm only 16 years old in half a year, let alone right away! Aim me at the camera, you're looking for a draw, right? ”

It took a lot of effort for more than 100 people to keep all the front, but the effect was not bad, and the person who was most clearly photographed was Messi, who stood at the front, no way, a big problem
