Thanks to "doudoubi2" for the tip! ——

At halftime, the whole Millwall team was excited and proud, but Aldridge gave them a dead order: in the second half, no one can relax!

The team can't develop the mentality of being complacent after taking the lead, this mentality is dangerous, and once it becomes a habit, it will turn comedy directly into tragedy at a critical time.

Aldridge's request may seem unkind, but that's what he asks for in charge, subtly keeping his players focused until the last minute of the game.

If anyone relaxes, he will not hesitate to replace the player.

Liverpool suffered a huge mental blow after a midfield adjustment, but there was a noticeable change in the formation of play, Roy Evans strengthened the central defence, allowing wide players to compress into the middle, limiting the play of Andrea Pirlo and Nedved.

Aldridge was not afraid of the other party's move at all.

He even wanted to walk over and tell Evans: Your striker doesn't defend, no matter how you defend, there are holes in your defense, unless you put a bus.

If Fowler and Collymore can't drop back widely, it will be convenient for Liverpool to strengthen their central defence, and Aldridge will have nothing to fear.

Not in the middle, there is also a side lane.

The two wing corridors became Millwall's sole domain after Liverpool's defensive focus shifted.

Thuram Zambrotta frequently assists and the threat from the baseline or 45 degrees is immediate.

Trezeguet and Nedved headed home in the 63rd and 69th minutes respectively.

The Liverpool fans in the stands were all dumbfounded.

Seventy minutes of play, 6:0!

Liverpool will undoubtedly be bloodied, but there are only a few problems.

The giants Liverpool are also starting to lose malicious fouls.

McAtier elbows Nedved. Even though Nedved fell and got up. Just stood there and rubbed his face. But the referee showed McAtier a red card amid boos from the Lions fans in the stadium.

Liverpool started kicking in a mess and Aldridge used up three substitutions.

Schneider up, Thuram down.

Capdevilla up, Zambrotta down.

Vieira up, Pirlo down.

It's all about the substitutions.

Schneider, who played right wing-back for the first time, was almost a full-back in the last 20 minutes, and he was completely unpressed, allowing him to attack.

In the midst of the chaos, Schneider sent a high ball to the goal. Trezeguet jumped high to head the ball, which he got to the ground before being punched in the face by James.

The referee awarded a penalty.

After falling to the ground, Trezeguet didn't get up for a long time, and Aldridge saw this scene on the sidelines and angrily yelled at the fourth official: "What is he hesitating about? It's not a red card move? On another occasion, this is murder! ”

Trezeguet was very uncooperative with Aldrich's questioning, and halfway through the team doctor's run, he sat up, shook his head and looked a little dazed.

The referee didn't dare to send off Liverpool's players anymore, so he only warned James with a yellow card.

Trezeguet went to the sidelines to be examined by the team doctor, but he just fell a little dazed. It didn't feel like a big deal, and the team doctor judged him to have no signs of a concussion. So it was agreed that he would go back to the game.

Larsson converted the penalty and with eight minutes remaining, Millwall had already rewritten the score to 7-0.

In the end, when Liverpool thought that everything would end, Aldridge waved his hand to let the central defenders also rush up to have a good time, and occasionally cultivate the ability of the central defenders to rush up and assist, after all, sometimes the central defenders can also play a miraculous effect when they hit the front, and they can guard with knives!

Sure enough, in stoppage time, Elgra found a good opportunity in the crowd and sent a cross into the Liverpool net with his knees.

The Spanish centre-back also took off his shirt, the Liverpool fans in the stands were long gone, and the Millwall fans sang happy songs in a row, and throughout the second half, they did one thing in the stands: revelry.

8:0

In the first game of Aldridge's official presentation of new tactics with the main lineup, the team played a milestone game.

The team is full of power.

Thanks to Liverpool's hot buddies, their form on the pitch today was like sleepwalking.

When the whistle blew, Aldridge raised his fists into the stands, and the Millwall fans collectively made a gesture of worship.

"I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe it I thought I must be dreaming, but everything in front of me was real. Millwall set a string of FA Cup finals records. The record of eight goals scored in a single game is unprecedented, and the total number of goals scored is also history, as well as the record for the largest final point difference. Especially in this final, their opponents are the traditional giants of England, Liverpool, which makes their history even more convincing. The Liverpool players collapsed on the ground and I think they should be ashamed of themselves, they didn't deserve the Reds shirt, and in connection with the scandal they saw in the news today, and the jokes they were making on the sidelines in their suits before the game, what was on their minds? They have added to Liverpool's record of shame and, most likely, will remain so for a long time. Congratulations to Millwall, Hall's side deserved to win, they deserved it, the double cup plus the league runners-up, the result of a season of hard work, Aldridge Hall, the young coach who rewrote England history, we should applaud him, a round of applause for Millwall under his rule! ”

The players raced around the field, hugging each other in celebration, high-fives and clenching fists and shouting

Compared to the excitement of the fans rushing into the stadium to celebrate two months ago, they were able to restrain their emotions today, even if some still burst into tears and some knelt to the sky, they all stayed in the stands, cheering for Millwall hoarsely, and clapping vigorously with sore palms.

Aldrich began to walk towards the arena, and the reporters swarmed around him, following in his footsteps, countless microphones piled up in front of him.

"Mr Hall, how would you rate Liverpool's performance?"

'Don't compare my team to Liverpool.'

"Are you flouting Liverpool? Is it because Millwall won? ”

"Nope. I think compare my players to a bunch of hot guys who just know how to drink and drink. It's disrespectful to my players. We put in sweat and hard work. We are for the championship, Liverpool in my memory are iron-blooded, they are a disciplined team, is our opponent Liverpool today? Hehe, sorry, the spirit that Liverpool has inherited, I didn't see even a little bit from the opponent, that's all. I'm going to celebrate with my players and talk about it in the post-match press conference. ”

Aldridge split the crowd and walked over to the players and coaches, and the whole team lined up and down to each stand to thank the fans in the stands.

FA president Wiseman smiled heartily as he looked at the Millwall players and coaches on the pitch.

Today's game was fantastic.

Millwall have been so good this season, with so many classic games, and these are all leaflets for English football.

In the 95-96 season, Millwall became the second single-season double cup champion in England's history after Arsenal!

After winning the FA Cup, Millwall held a number of parties and also displayed two trophies at home. After several days of skirmishes, Aldridge called a team meeting.

Some players decided to stay in London. Because their national team is coming to England to prepare for the European Championship in England, which kicks off on June 8.

Nedved approached Aldrich and said that the Czech national team wanted to borrow the training base in Millwall and stay in the hotel where the team trained.

Nedved is familiar with the area, knowing that Millwall's training base is well-equipped, and indoor training can also be conducted in the hotel, so you can avoid outside interference.

Don't look at Millwall's Lions' Den Stadium is small and simple, but Aldridge's training base is definitely the top in the Premier League, but the area is not particularly large, but the Sparrows are small and have all the organs, which can help the team to maintain the game faster and more comprehensively.

Aldridge readily agreed, anyway, Millwall has no part in the FA's plan to arrange the European Championships, as long as the Czech national team says hello to the FA's side, it should not be a problem to stay in east London.

At the team's last meeting of the season, Aldridge looked at the casually dressed players and asked with a smile: "Did you have a good season?" ”

"Yes!"

"How's it like to be a champion?"

"Cool!"

"Is that enough?"

"Not enough!"

"Okay, the holiday has begun, see you in two and a half months, and when you come back, we will conquer England together!"

"Good!"

There are no national team assignment players who are excited to go on vacation, and those who have national team assignments are always smiling.

What they have achieved here this past season is enough for them to show off in front of their national team team-mates as well.

After greeting each of the players, Aldrich was the last to leave the room.

Most of the coaches have opted for a short trip and will return to England for the Euros next month.

Aldridge has made too many appointments for interviews recently, and after the meeting, when he was interviewed by the BBC, he also ran to the training ground to hold a trophy in each hand for the other party.

In the interview, Aldridge didn't talk too much about himself, and he put all the credit on the players.

He emphasised that he is just a serious manager, and that the players under him have a high level of professionalism and talent, and that it is the hard work of the players that makes the team strong and that they deserve the accolades.

As the coach of the year, Aldridge is not complacent, on the contrary, he has a headache.

Because Andrew told him that many teams have started to approach Andrew privately with the aim of bringing in Millwall's players.

And the most threatening of this is the team from Serie A.

As for Hyypia, Andrew quickly found the counterpart in the database after some investigation, because Hyypia had already established himself in the Netherlands.

Aldridge will not have a hard time bringing in Hyypia.

First, pay the transfer fee.

Second, commit to the main position.

And for both of them, Aldrich can't get them out this summer.

Adam, the club's CEO, sat in Aldrich's office and put a copy of the financial statements in front of him.

"What do you mean?"

"With a lot of bonuses paid because we won the championship, and the high salary bill of the team over the past year, to put it simply, boss, even if you don't spend a penny this summer, we won't be able to pay the players when winter comes."

Adam's words gave Aldrich a headache.

Millwall's total salary expenditure, including staff, coaches and players, is the highest in England.

In the past year, it has exceeded 20 million pounds, and Millwall's income is not enough to break even, not even half of it.

This leaves Millwall with just over six million pounds on their books.

Aldrich thought about it for a while.

If only this year were '97.

In '97, if the Premier League re-signs a broadcast contract, then the broadcast revenue will at least triple, especially since some of them will be credited to the club's account before the season, which can also allow Millwall to survive the year.

In fact, Aldridge also has this account in his heart, and he knows that the club operation alone cannot make up for the pressure of income and expenditure caused by high wages, so Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's departure is not purely a competitive factor.

There will be £7 million in transfer income in the summer.

Will this get Millwall through next season?
