After playing Liverpool, Grimsby and Blackburn in three consecutive away games, Aldridge finally returned to London with a tired body after a long journey.

The Spice Girls group began to record their first album, Aldridge returned to a single life, originally as the head coach of a top league club, there is not much personal time, even if the players are on vacation, the head coach's time will be spent studying the opponent, therefore, Aldridge does not feel lonely, has a job every day, and lives a very fulfilling life.

Andrew has already helped him connect with the best hospital in the UK, and even the top hospital in Europe, Wellington Hospital, the transfer procedures for Puskas are being processed, Aldrich also wants Elizabeth to be cared for in the hospital, anyway, this couple, Aldrich hopes that they can live comfortably in their old age.

The fifth game of the Devils' schedule is also the penultimate league game before the FIFA match, followed by a Carabao Cup game against Wolves, and then a number of players from the squad will go to the national team.

The fifth round of the league will be against a team that holds a strange record, with Nottingham Forest having more Champions League trophies than league trophies.

Nottingham Forest finished third in the league last season and manager Frank Clarke had a relationship with Aldridge a few months ago, with the pair being the Premier League and League One Manager of the Season respectively.

This season, Nottingham Forest was poached by Liverpool last season's top scorer Collymore, Collymore was responsible for about 1/3 of the team's league goals last season, with 24, his departure made Nottingham Forest devastated his vitality, and after the season started well, he was forced to draw by three teams in London one after another, West Ham United, Chelsea, and Arsenal.

Visiting the Lion's Den Stadium, Clark was very cautious, and said in a low-key manner that Nottingham Forest would encounter a tough battle when he came to London, and was Millwall strong? At least in the standings, Nottingham Forest are behind the opponent's ass.

Two teams that are unbeaten in four games at the start of the season met at the Lion's Den Stadium.

Aldridge put on the main line-up, still playing 442, and Clarke's Nottingham Forest is mainly defensive, and seems determined to get a fourth draw in a row against the London team.

The game was not exciting, the cheering of the Lion's Den Stadium never stopped, and the fans had not experienced the team so strong for a long time, but they had not experienced it before.

Victories over Arsenal and Liverpool, away draw with Manchester United and defending champions, Millwall's momentum is gratifying, and Millwall's fans are full of exhalation and eyebrows.

But the game left Aldridge feeling a little helpless, and Millwall's forward line was bogged down.

Clarke, who has apparently studied footage from Millwall's last few games, has a conservative tactical formation and is dedicated to pressing on the edge of the box, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Larsson unable to play effectively and even finding it difficult to get on the ball.

Aldridge paced the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, his mind racing.

Nottingham Forest is united, and the key points of defense are in place, Nedved enters the front court to mark him closely, and there is a level of team to assist in the defense, the front of the penalty area compresses the space, the wing defense is not frizzy, and even let go of the side to let Millwall's full-backs come forward to assist, hitting the ground penetration lacks space, there is only Larsson in the middle of the high ball cross, and it is difficult to fight for the ball when caught in the bag, let alone head the goal.

It's a tough battle and it's hard to imagine Nottingham Forest, who finished third in the league last season, putting on such a low profile at the home of the promoted side.

At half-time, the score was 0:0.

Aldridge called Shevchenko to him before entering the players' tunnel, and stood obediently in front of him with a green face like a scholar's nuclear warhead, waiting for the opportunity to be taught.

"Go warm up."

Aldrich gave a simple order, and Shevchenko swallowed and immediately moved on the sidelines.

In the 90 World Cup final, the star-stellar Germany faced Maradona's Argentina, and more than 30 shots were fully dominant over one shot, and in the end it was only a penalty kick to solve the battle.

In sports warfare, it is nothing more than three means to break the dense defense, personal ability, heroism to break through and break to solve the problem, long-range threat to force the opponent's defense line to press forward and pull the gap behind the body, and create set-pieces.

As for playing positional coordination, there is no space to shoot, no matter how beautiful the coordination is, no matter how high the possession rate is, it is just useless data.

Aldridge in midfield could only allow the team to try a little more long-range shots in the second half to see what was going on before making further adjustments.

At the very least, if the game continues to be deadlocked, he must increase the intensity of the direct threat to the goal in the penalty area.

Nottingham Forest still played the tactics of shrinking the defense in the second half, and a few conscious big kicks were also directly hoisted into Millwall's half, wanting to rely on the two strikers in front of them to make a sneak attack.

Aldridge was on guard against Clark's hand.

He firmly believes that even if the bottom team swings the bus, there will be a glimmer of hope to complete the surprise fatal blow, so the midfield keeps Richards, Stamm, and Makelle three, if the opponent's two forwards have the ability to receive the ball and complete the second or three most difficult goals, Aldridge will also lose the heart.

But it was already a big problem to stop and turn in front of Makelele, who was becoming more and more defensively aware and tackling, not to mention that the ball from the back had too long to fly in the air, enough for Millwall's defenders to set up and wait.

For 60 minutes of the game, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was mediocre both in the box and outside the box, and he was not very comfortable with such a dense defense, and there was no space for him to play, especially when he was a starter, and he was stared at by the opposing players as soon as he came up, and after the running positions were gradually familiar with the opposing players, he couldn't find a feeling.

Aldridge was ready to make a substitution, replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a powerful centre-forward.

However, before the substitution, he called Shevchenko in front of him, watched him jump on the spot and move his body, Aldrich signaled him to calm down and not get too excited, and then he put his arm around Shevchenko's shoulders and crouched down on the sidelines.

"Andrey, do you trust me?"

Aldridge stared into his eyes and asked softly, because the other party had only been in England for a few months, so Aldrich spoke in the most concise English, and the speed of speech was not fast.

With the experience of the past few games, Shevchenko, as a bystander, has a deep understanding of Aldrich, and he nodded without hesitation: "Trust!" ”

He was sure that he would have a future under the young marshal.

"Are you nervous?"

Shevchenko looked back at the packed Lion's Den Stadium, where he was about to make his debut, and it was a lie to say that he was not nervous, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so he had to be silent.

Aldridge smiled, pointed to the opposite team, and asked, "What kind of team is that?" ”

Shevchenko replied with a strange face: "Nottingham Forest." ”

"Do you know the history of Nottingham Forest?"

"Zhilu Dao, European champion, twice!"

"You may only meet such a Champions League title opponent in Europe when you are lucky in Ukraine, do you regret coming to England?"

"Nope! I'm so excited, Manchester United, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, they have all won the highest honours in Europe, so I'm so excited about this opponent! ”

Aldrich looked at his sincere excitement, nodded, and then reached out and grabbed a handful on the turf, in the palm of his hand was a piece of dirt mixed with grass, Aldrich raised his hand in front of Shevchenko, and said, "Smell it." ”

Shevchenko lowered his head and sniffed.

"What does it smell like?"

"It smells good."

Probably he couldn't describe the moistness and fragrance of the earth and grass, so he used the good smell.

Aldrich himself smelled it, and the natural smell was relaxing.

Aldridge shook off the dirt in his hands, clapped his hands and said: "You only have one of the easiest tasks on the field, to be at the front of the team, and then wait for the ball to fly near you, if the ball comes from the sky, you use your head to push me into the opponent's goal, if the ball rolls over the turf, whatever way you use, send the ball to the opponent's goal, understand?" ”

Shevchenko touched his nose, as if he was still reminiscing about what he had just smelled, and after listening to Aldrich's instructions, he nodded emphatically.

Aldrich put his arm around his shoulders and stood up, smiled and reached out to press his shoulder and asked, "Are you still nervous?" ”

Shevchenko laughed and said: "Boss, you have been talking to me for so long, I have forgotten everything, and my body is cold." ”

"It's okay, just don't forget to score."

Aldridge walked back to the dugout and signaled for the fourth official to make a substitution.

After waiting for the next dead goal, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was substituted, he looked a little lost, Aldridge deliberately stepped forward to comfort him, saying: "Ole, today's game is not for you to play, don't take it personally, there is no striker who can score in every game, but a good striker will always be full of desire to score in the next game." ”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said with a sneer: "Boss, I'm not a child, you don't have to comfort me like that." ”

Aldridge replied, "Okay, then you go back and sit and concentrate on the game." ”

The baby face sat back with a smile on his face, put on the coat handed by the coach, and watched the game with peace of mind, which has become his habit, whether he plays or not, he will watch the game while observing Aldridge, and seems to want to interpret the game from Aldrich's point of view.

"Millwall has been replaced by a new player brought in in the summer, his name is, uh, Andrei Shevchenko, Dynamo Kyiv from Ukraine, and it's strange that Aldridge didn't bring in Phillips, the striker who also has the reputation of being a super substitute, the Ukrainian lad doesn't look very characteristic, he's not particularly strong, he's not particularly tall, he's my God, GOOOOOOOAL!"

While the commentator was still observing Shevchenko, Shevchenko, who went straight to the penalty area after coming on the field, immediately ushered in his maiden goal.

He watched his team-mates run and then into the box, Schneider crossed from the side, and in the bag of the Nottingham Forest defender, Larsson nodded the ball in front of him, and the ball flew towards the back post, where Shevchenko was there, and he subconsciously headed the ball with his head.

But he had some problems with his angle, the ball flew into the back of the goal, but he couldn't stop the car under his feet and hit the back post directly.

Bang!

His head was bleeding on the spot.

The Nottingham Forest players were extremely depressed, and their eyes were fixed on Shevchenko, who was lying on the ground with a bleeding brain.

Where did this kid come from?

Clark did everything he could and studied the characteristics of each player in Millwall, but Aldridge didn't play his cards according to common sense, missing Trezeguet and replacing it with a Ukrainian nuclear warhead.

The nuclear warhead exploded.

The other party's bus was blown up, and his head was bleeding.

Millwall's players didn't have time to celebrate, and they all rushed to Shevchenko's side.

The team doctor also hurried in.

Shevchenko, who was lying on the ground with his head covered, only felt that the world was spinning, he looked at his teammates around him, and asked in jerky English: "I scored?" ”

Nedved crouched down and pressed it on his chest and said in a deep voice: "Congratulations, you scored on your first touch on your debut, which is probably a record." Andrey, that's good, but you're still lying down, and the team doctor will be there soon. ”

Shevchenko glanced at his palm, which was stained red with blood, and he didn't feel happy for two seconds before he said in frustration: "I'm afraid I have a record of the fastest injury." ”

Aldridge crossed his waist on the sidelines, he has already let Patrick Vieira warm up, the goal is effective, Nottingham Forest will go on a rampage, he will now strengthen the central defence, and also give Nedved more room to play up front.

But looking at Shevchenko, who was being carried off the field on a stretcher, Aldridge walked over and gave him a thumbs up, and then applauded like the rest of the fans.

But he muttered: "The passing year is not good!" ”

PS: Thank you for the reward of "King of the Sky" and "Flying as First Seen"!
