Thanks to the tip of "Death of the Thief" and "2O2O26"! ――

Some reporters may think that Aldridge got carried away at Millwall and at his peak.

The Champions League is full of strong players, and the situation is unpredictable, and even if Millwall is recognized as the strongest, it may not be able to achieve the feat of winning the Champions League three times in a row.

But Aldrich said this, not for outsiders, nor to show arrogance.

He's speaking to Millwall, to the fans, to the players, to all the people who follow Millwall.

Since Millwall is already recognized as the strongest, he does not have to be pretending to be humble and low-key, deliberately flattering his opponents and creating psychological pressure on the players.

Millwall, in its glory, was about to complete its transformation.

From the spirit to the club image.

In the past few years, Millwall has changed from a weak team to a strong one, and the outside world will think that Millwall is a strong team, and after becoming a giant, the competitive strength is also among the top five in Europe.

Once upon a time, they were the strongest of the weak, and now they are the kings of the strong!

The team's pursuit, the team's goals, the player's mental temperament, inner pride, and external superiority are all to be shaped in a certain way.

This is no different from a social phenomenon.

Equality for all is the biggest joke.

There are three, six, nine and so on, and those who are bosses are also divided into high and low, so why don't the bosses of large enterprises have a sense of superiority? Why can't there be?

It's the same with the green field, why is Manchester United Real Madrid so arrogant? Why with a proud temperament?

Why do some players frequently say that wearing the jersey of such and such a team is an honor?

In addition to the club's heritage and current strength. There is also the biggest factor. It is the pursuit and goal of the club.

Two years ago, Millwall could have gone to the Champions League and played patiently one game at a time. Strive to go further.

Can you still say that?

It's a shame not to be able to get into the quarterfinals!

Not being able to make it to the semi-finals is a failure!

This is the basis of Millwall's existence, and the pressure and goal pursuit are very different from what they used to be.

As for whether Aldridge's words will cause psychological pressure on the players, Aldridge thinks so: Wearing the lion jersey, you should have pressure, and have the ability and will to overcome pressure!

At the end of the press conference, we talked about the theme of tomorrow's game.

Four years later, with the Germans in East London on fire, the gap between Millwall and West Ham United has reached an indescribable distance. With such a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, what do you think the game will look like? An easy win for Millwall? ”

Aldridge's expression was completely stern, and he said in a deep voice: "The significance of the East London derby is not the difference in the strength of the two teams, the derby between Millwall and West Ham United, the sworn enemy, the competitive influence is definitely not as good as the Madrid derby, the Spanish derby, the Italian derby, the Milan derby and other high-level levels, but the East London derby lasts for more than a hundred years." The influence among the local fans of the two teams is huge, and such a confrontation is passed down from the ancestors. Four years ago, West Ham United were relegated, four years later, they returned to England, and now, Millwall meets West Ham United, and this is not a match between the English leaders and the English relegation team, it is a very simple, decisive battle between mortal enemies! If we lose the east London derby, even if we win it, it will cast a shadow over the season, because we will make the fans not want to remember this season, remember the pain of losing to our arch-rivals, and I have two words to say about the game, the first is against the Millwall players, this game has to give it their all! The second is to say to West Ham United, don't try to dominate the game in a rough way, we will pay close attention to the raw qiē in the game, you can foul on the field, but you can't use violence, that's a crime, if they use rough behavior out of the game, Millwall will definitely investigate to the end and make West Ham United pay the price! ”

Aldridge's pressure on West Ham United led to an FA warning and a £5ooo fine.

Even so, Fleet Street still believes that once there is a situation similar to the West Ham United player who tackled Lucas Neil into a serious injury, the FA will still be on Millwall's side, and the person concerned will inevitably be heavily punished by the FA, after all, Aldridge and the FA are always in the same boat, which is the consensus of the outside world.

West Ham United's current coach Glenn Rodell strongly protested and blamed Aldridge's remarks, because of Aldridge's influence, what he said caused a huge reputation loss to West Ham United, fans who pay attention to Aldridge may not know West Ham United, listen to Aldridge's words, and the impression seems to think that West Ham United is a rogue team.

This made the Hammers fans angry.

Speaking of hooligans, ten years ago, the Hammer Gang's rogue reputation was not as good as that of the Wild Lions!

Millwall will cross the River Thames and head north to Upton Park for the game.

More than half of the London police force was dispatched to the West Ham United community in East London from the morning of the game day to maintain order, and the streets around the stadium were full of mounted police, and the Millwall bus crossed the River Thames, then slowed down and drove slowly towards Upton Park under the protection of the police car.

A large number of West Ham United fans welcomed the arrival of the Lions in a 'traditional' way.

As Aldridge said, the east London derby never changes because of the difference in quality between the two teams.

Just like when the Raging Lions were inferior to the Hammers in the past, the Hammers will not reduce their hatred for the Hammers in the slightest, and they will not despise each other because they are superior, and Millwall is the same.

There are fewer fights between football hooligans than in the past, but there are definitely still soccer hooligans who are estimated to have already fought in some abandoned stadiums and factories.

It's hard not to be drawn to the hostile fans on the street outside Millwall when they sit inside the bus.

They used to be guests at the Devil's home stadium in Turkey, where the fans watched them go to the devil's lair to see them executed.

And the attitude shown by the Hammers fans is outright hatred.

Clamor to overthrow the mad lion.

This hatred. Not mitigated by victory. Even if the opponent is dead. Celebrate with a whip corpse too!

Many West Ham United fans can't forget that four years ago, Aldridge led the team to win the championship in advance, and beat West Ham United at the last moment with a substitute lineup, directly sending their beloved Hammers into the hellish League One, and after four years of grinding in hell, they finally climbed back!

In this game, the Hammers definitely don't have a good chance of winning. Even if you fight at home, but beyond victory, there is a war of blood and dignity!

This kind of hatred in the field of competition is incomprehensible to many players in the Millwall team, and West Ham United has changed blood over the years, and the players who are going to play this game today must also be incomprehensible.

West Ham United are now authentic mercenaries, the former European junk United are still living on cheap foreign reinforcements, while Millwall have players from their own youth background. But there is not a single player of Millwall descent in the true sense of the word.

Like Andrea Pirlo, he belongs to the Millwall Academy. But even though he has experienced the East London derby, he still can't understand where the unforgettable hatred between the two teams comes from, only that everyone hates each other, so they can only hate each other.

Xiao Luo, Miao Hong's Millwall youth training product, he has more problems today than anyone else, such as why the two teams hate each other, why there is so much resentment, it can be seen that he actually can't understand the east London derby.

Veteran players, such as Gareth Southgate, Nedved and Larsson, have a hatred for West Ham United, not only because of the fan influence, but also because West Ham United tackled Neil to a serious injury.

No one knows exactly what kind of professional heights Neil can reach, since he was 16 years old, he has played under Aldridge, if it wasn't for that serious injury, maybe he is now more than just a reliable substitute for Millwall, a serious injury is equivalent to at least half of the talent of a player at the most critical age of development!

Millwall, West Ham United, the players of both teams, there is no doubt about the attitude of this game, they don't need to understand why the two clubs hate each other, just know that this is the need of the local fans!

Half of the popularity and achievement of the players are due to their own efforts, and half of them are dependent on the fans.

If you don't have fans like you, you don't have commercial value, and if you don't have commercial value, you don't have more media to promote you.

And if you don't have the support of the local fans, you won't be able to play at home, and even conversely, if the home fans booed you every day at home, wouldn't your competitive form suffer? The psychological pressure can be imagined.

So that slogan is absolutely true: Fight for the fans!

Millwall is a world-class club, how many fans like them around the world, this is not known, but the most critical, the most important, is the local fans, they buy tickets to watch the game, this is the most intuitive economic interests, they are in the stands for the team, cheering for a certain player, this is also the most intuitive can affect the players, so that the players feel a kind of group interaction.

After a four-year hiatus, Aldridge revisited the Earton Park Stadium.

As the team warmed up inside the stadium for the game, Aldridge sat alone in the dressing room, not wanting to go outside and cause a riot, knowing that every Hammer fan would want to tear him to pieces.

Not only did he lead Millwall to defeat West Ham, but he also humiliated the Hammers with arrogance.

This reason is enough for him to be remembered, and definitely enough for him to be permanently hated by the Hammers fans.

In turn, Aldridge is loved more deeply by Lions fans, and is forever remembered and adored.

The players came back to the dressing room with a solemn look on their faces, and as they warmed up, they felt the pressure on the pitch.

If going to Turkey is a guest at Hell Stadium, then, playing at Upton Park, it is like entering a terra nullius, chaotic and disorderly, the fans in the stands shouting at them, throwing debris, and before the game starts, a large number of security guards surround the stands, almost forming an alternative landscape.

Aldridge looked at the time, the game was about to start, he stood up and said simply: "In this game, you are heroes if you work hard to win the game, and if you lose the game by taking it lightly or relaxing and slackening, you are unforgivable sinners in the hearts of the fans, and so am I." ”

As soon as the words fell, Aldrich opened the door to the locker room and walked out.

It's that simple.

If you fight and win, you are the hero in the hearts of the fans.

If you are afraid and lose, you are the sinners in the hearts of the fans.

No matter how glamorous you have been and how much you have contributed, this game is separate and special, and it's different from the kind of rivals Millwall vs Chelsea.

Aldridge wore a warm coat today and walked steadily along the players' tunnel towards the pitch.

When he had seen the natural light in the stadium, two stadium security guards on each side of the exit of the players' tunnel turned around to protect him, and as he walked out of the tunnel, the security guard raised an umbrella and hit Aldrich on the head (to be continued......
