254 Three rookies and three good signs
Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——
The night before he was ready to leave for Switzerland, Aldrich spent peace with Melanie at home.
Hearing the news of Princess Diana's unexpected death shook the whole of Britain because people lost a national idol.
Especially girls like Melanie, who was born in Liverpool, have a very good impression of Princess Diana who dares to break free from the shackles of the royal family, and it is no exaggeration to say that when their generation grew up, there are not many public figures who can make them admire, and the positive image of Princess Diana, who is passionate about charity, is an embodiment of people's good wishes.
Melanie couldn't have cried out loud and hoarse, but she was visibly depressed and depressed.
Once she is unhappy, she will not be able to control her appetite.
Aldrich dragged her up, sitting cross-legged on the couch and holding a pile of snacks.
"What? I don't want to move. ”
"It's nothing, vent, your overeating like this not only harms your health, sometimes you are unhappy, you just have to vent it."
The two came to the gym, Aldrich threw the gloves to her, put on the protective plate himself, raised his arms to make a defensive gesture, and said to her: "Attack with all your might, no matter what frustration you have in your heart, vent it, chick, to be honest, you never hurt me, sports hottie?" It's just for show. ”
Melanie rolled her eyes, and her anger came up a little, blowing her hair, and said, "Okay, you want to make me angry, and it worked." ”
With that, she frantically threw her fist at Aldrich
Twenty minutes later, the two sat against the wall of the gym. Aldrich is intact. Melanie herself had a sore arm. I was sweating all over.
Her head rested on Aldrich's shoulder, and she said quietly, "Aldrich, will you always do this to me?" ”
"Huh, moved?"
"Hmm. Why have I never seen you unhappy? ”
"Maybe I can see everything."
"You're in the mood of an old man."
"At least I won't hurt myself. As for you, don't take anything to heart, and when you're not upset, try to make yourself happy, and eat hard, uh. I like busty women, but that doesn't mean I like fat women. ”
"Hehehe, then let's do sports again, I don't have the strength, it's time for you to do something."
Melanie twisted into Aldrich's arms, gazing into his eyes affectionately, her hands slowly unbuttoning his shirt one by one
Since Princess Diana's death was partly blamed on the paparazzi's "encirclement and interception", which caused the whole society to condemn the excessive invasion of privacy by the media industry, Aldrich felt that the next period of time would be a little easier, at least the media industry workers would be more restrained.
Switzerland. Nyon.
The scene of the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony for the 97/98 season.
Aldridge in a suit is an outlier here, because he is too young. The head coach at the meeting, who is not at least 20 years older than him.
On this occasion of a gathering of famous coaches, Aldrich met many well-known coaches.
Real Madrid's new coach Heynckes, Barcelona's new coach Louis van Gaal, Parma's coach Carlo Ancelotti, Juventus coach Lippi, Bayern Munich coach Trapattoni
Aldrich sat on either side of a half-acquaintance.
Monaco coach Tigana sat on his left-hand side, with Carlo Ancelotti on the right-hand side, who had spoken on the phone about Thuram's transfer.
Although Tigana and Aldridge were both champions last season, Carlo Ancelotti's ability to lead Parma to a runners-up finish in Serie A at the Petit World Cup was a remarkable achievement, with the duo sitting and muttering about the situation this year, speculating about the possibility of grouping and exchanging their assessments of the other teams.
"Dortmund is definitely not good, don't look at the championship last season, Heathfield is gone, the overall squad is a year older, this year is ironclad, you see, they didn't even win the runner-up in the league last season, if it wasn't for the Champions League championship, where can we see Dortmund now?"
"What about the two teams in the Netherlands?"
"I don't think it will be like that, although Eindhoven and Feyenoord also play European games all year round, but after all, it is not at the Champions League level, and this year it has expanded from 16 teams to 24, and the competitiveness has suddenly become more intense, to be honest, the difference between strength and weakness will be very large."
Aldrich listened to the two meeting and communicating, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Hey, hey, hey, the three of us are all Champions League rookies, the big girl is on the sedan chair once, don't say that people can't do it, the top of the six groups and the second of the two best groups, in case we are divided into the group of death, whether we can qualify is a big problem." ”
Fat and Tigana turned their heads to stare at Aldridge for three seconds at the same time, and then the three of them laughed loudly together.
"Hahaha, that's right, we're all rookies."
Carlo Ancelotti made his coaching debut a year after Aldridge, who only took charge of the team in 95 years and was able to reach the Champions League stage two years later.
However, perhaps it is this confidence that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers that makes them not like other managers such as Alex Ferguson and Heynckes.
No matter what lottery you get, just fight for your life.
The current Champions League group qualification is extremely cruel, 24 teams are divided into 6 groups, 4 teams in each group to qualify, and then compare the second results in each group, the best two advance to the knockout round, and the group stage is a fierce quarter-finals.
Current UEFA President Johansson took the stage to deliver a speech and presented a number of awards, among which Millwall was voted by UEFA as the best team in Europe last season.
This made Aldridge attract attention, and he is also very grateful to UEFA, it stands to reason that Dortmund won the Champions League last season, but Dortmund's performance in the league was average, Millwall won the treble, and also broke the long-standing record of winning in the five major leagues, and the limelight was unparalleled for a while. It was no surprise that he was elected. But this kind of award. UEFA will not be too controversial to give the title team at random, because the champions of each league cannot be compared.
By the time the draw began, the managers of the clubs present looked serious, as if they were waiting for a trial.
Aldrich calmly watched the whole draw process.
When the draw came out, Tigana laughed and Ancelotti laughed.
Both managers were happy with the draw.
Monaco are in a group with Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting Lisbon and Lias. Avoided the champions and runners-up teams of the three major leagues of England, Italy, Spain.
Tigana is confident in his prospects of qualifying.
Carlo Ancelotti's signing was not particularly good.
Parma are in the same group as Borussia Dortmund, Sparta Prague, Galatasaray.
However, An Pang just despised the defending champion Dortmund, and in his opinion, as long as he killed Dortmund, the qualifying situation was also very good, and he was confident in himself.
The two shook hands with each other. Congratulate each other, then look at Aldrich with a look of pity.
Millwall's sign. It's a bit back.
In addition to La Liga giants Barcelona, there are also Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven and Ukrainian champions Dynamo Kyiv.
There are almost no points in this group, especially with a strong Barcelona team, plus Dynamo Kyiv and PSV Eindhoven, even if Millwall finish second, maybe less points than the second place in the other group.
Aldrich saw the eyes of the two, stretched out his two hands to cross in front of him, shook hands with the two respectively, and said with a smile: "Good sign, good sign." ”
It's no wonder that others look at him with such sympathetic eyes, although just a few months ago, Millwall beat Barcelona, but in the traditional impression, Millwall is an upset, in terms of comprehensive strength, the outside world will not think that Millwall has been able to sit on an equal footing with Barcelona, which is normal.
But this "impression" is often incorrect, you don't see the Real Madrid Galaxy battleship flying in the universe, but it stops in the top 16 every year
"Alas, your signing for the Premier League champion is not as good as the signing of the Premier League runner-up over there."
Tigana glanced at United's grouping and sighed.
Manchester United, Juventus, Feyenoord, Kosis, a group of four.
In addition to the strength of Juventus, the Serie A champion led by Lippi, Feyenoord is the runner-up in the Eredivisie, Kosis is from Slovakia, and it is almost a fish belly to brush points for each team.
Aldridge was not envious of this at all, and said with a smile: "If you are really jealous, why not be jealous of Real Madrid?" Look, Norway's Rosenborg, Greece's Olympiacos, Portugal's Porto, and Real Madrid are in suspense? I think I'm pretty good with this sign, Barcelona are the favourites to qualify, and Millwall can fish in troubled waters. ”
This sentence is definitely from Aldrich's heart.
Malegobi's, in the Premier League, has become the target of public criticism, and they are about to collapse by defensive counterattacks, it's best not to be the favorite, it's best if other teams encounter Millwall and feel that they have hope, you guys, don't fucking be shrunken turtles, give Lao Tzu a real knife and a real gun!
Hum
As soon as Aldridge finished speaking, two cold snorts came from behind him.
He, Carlo Ancelotti and Tigana all looked back, only to find that it was Barcelona coach Louis van Gaal sitting behind them, his expression was a little cold, he glanced at Aldridge with contempt, and then withdrew his gaze and raised his chin to look ahead.
Aldrich turned and sat down as if nothing had happened.
Tigana smiled and patted the back of his hand, and Aldrich grimaced.
As far away as London, all of Millwall's first-team players watched live TV at home, and after deciding on Millwall's grouping, they picked up the phone to relay it to their team-mates.
"Did you watch TV?"
"Look, it's good to sign."
"Yes, Barcelona, PSV Eindhoven, Dynamo Kyiv, we'll have no problem qualifying."
"Okay, I dreamed last night that I was in a group with Real Madrid, Juventus, and Barcelona, and it scared me to death."
"Huh? How can it be? In the group stage, the team of the same country avoided it. ”
"Who can control dreams? That's it, and then it's dark. ”
"So did we qualify for the last time?"
"I don't know what to say, I dreamed that I was woken up with urine when I was struggling with Juventus in the fourth game."
"What about the first three?"
"Huh? I forgot about it, I scored four goals anyway. I stripped to celebrate at the Bernabeu. ”
"What about me?"
"I think about it, it seems like there is no you, yes, who is at the right wing-back, I can't remember."
"Get out!"
The above conversation takes place between Trezeguet and Schneider. (To be continued......)
