When fighting the world, everyone works together, thinking in one place, trying to make one place, and waiting to sit firmly in the country, it is inevitable that people will be impetuous.

Millwall's preparations for the new season are carried out in London, and they don't go anywhere, even friendly matches are invited to the Lion King Stadium, and a charity match called the Lion King Cup is organized, inviting Paris Saint-Germain, Sporting Lisbon, Inter Milan, plus Millwall, four teams play a single round-robin ranking match, each team plays three games, and the ranking is determined by points.

Before that, there was also a warm-up match against last season's Bundesliga runner-up Schalke O4, also at the Lion King Stadium, after these four friendly matches, the fifth warm-up game was the pre-season Charity Shield, and then, the journey of the new season will officially begin.

The team can't go out and make money every summer, and last season's pre-season preparation was not very good, and some players played the European Championship and had to go around Asia with the team, and the impact on the new season is obvious.

With the World Cup next summer and Millwall having a lot of Chinese players, Aldridge has made up his mind to let the team prepare for the game with peace of mind, avoid traveling, and recharge as much as possible.

After all, in the new season, he has a lot of energy to be scattered to the national team, and the group stage of the World Preliminary Tournament has come to the final sprint.

On the day of the new season's training camp, before 9 a.m., there are many fans hanging out outside the Leo training base, and the biggest pleasure for local fans in the days when the professional league is off is to come here to watch the youth team players training games, and in the summer, the U15 charity tournament. Millwall won the title again with two young players who shocked the whole of England.

14-year-old Messi and 13-year-old Sergio Aguero teamed up to create a carnage and were a god-like example in their age group, from regional knockouts to regional team finals. There are only 11 games in total, one game in two days, and 2o days to play, and in these 11 games, Millwall U15 Juniors have scored a total of 76 goals! Messi and Sergio Aguero have 68 goals, with the duo finishing in the top two scorers' charts. Messi scored 39 goals and Sergio Aguero 29.

Fleet Street also had media coverage of the event throughout the event, and sponsors made a lot of noise about it in order to attract attention.

The media commented that it was more like a match between Millwall Pro and All England Amateur.

If it weren't for the fact that Messi and Sergio Aguero looked like they would never have misrepresented their age, otherwise the outside world would have questioned the age of Millwall's team.

Fans go to watch these little guys play, and they are already habitually looking for Millwall's future big star. Joe Hart, Baines, Messi, and Aguero, who played in this event, all left a deep impression on the fans, and Messi and Aguero's unearthly appearance made the two have fans early. Many teenagers of the same age list them as idols.

The only one who was depressed was Rooney, who injured his foot after playing a game.

This morning, the fans saw a steady stream of high-end cars driving into the club, as well as sports cars, and the fans cheered and applauded when they saw it.

The first-team players are back for pre-season!

The fans are smiling, which means that the new season is about to start and they can experience the excitement of the game.

Wild Lion, keep rushing. Don't stop!

Aldridge and his fellow coaching staff came to the training ground with a smile and a lot of players chatting there, and Ronaldo entertained himself with the ball on his head, and Pirlo made a mistake and suddenly hit Ronaldo's body. Ronaldo staggered, still holding the ball firmly on his head, and then grimaced at Pirlo.

"The holiday is over, start today, devil training!"

Aldrich said sternly as soon as he walked up.

The players were all stunned, and the ball on Xiao Luo's head fell to the ground.

"Oh, scare you! It's still the same rhythm as before, I'm not going to talk nonsense, the intensity of training goes from weak to strong, and after a month, we start the season in perfect condition. For the new season, I don't say anything, every game gives me all my best, every championship, we have to try to get it, why? The champion should be ours! ”

As Aldridge finished speaking, the players yelled and some whistled.

After jogging, the players shouted in unison with glee, repeating Aldridge's words over and over again.

"The champion should be ours!"

"The champion should be ours!"

"Huh? What are they shouting? ”

"It's like swearing!"

"Scolding whom?"

"Well, it doesn't seem to be, it seems to be a champion."

"Hear it clearly, they seem to be singing, and the championship should be ours. And--! ”

"Haha, yes, yes, the-the-champion should be our Wild Lion!"

The fans on the periphery of the training ground listened to the players shouting happily on the sidelines of the training ground, and were infected by this atmosphere, and they also showed irrepressible smiles outside the training ground, which quickly spread.

On the first day of the summer preparation camp of the Wild Lions, it was announced that the new season was going to harvest the championship trophy!

Aldridge was happy with the condition of the players on the first day and the most important thing was the mentality, the team didn't have to run around and the players felt it was good.

Twenty years ago, being able to play abroad with the team was equivalent to traveling at public expense, and the players were very excited.

Now, players can go wherever they want, go out with the team to play commercial games, attend business events, and deal with sponsors, which is also tiring and tiring!

At dusk, Aldridge sat in the office to read the report of the medical department, and the first thing the players did when they returned to the team was to go to the medical department to check their physical condition, and if there were special circumstances, the coaching staff needed to formulate a training plan for a specific purpose.

During the holidays, it is normal for players to be slack, as long as it is not the kind of situation where two months ago he was a thin man, and coming back to walk in shape is like a change of person, the coaches can also accept it, like Xiao Luo weighed 7 pounds and trained hard. Losing 5 pounds in a month is no problem.

Knock knock

"Please come in."

Aldridge looked up and saw Paolo Ferreira walk in, and after sitting down across from the desk, Ferreira said with a respectful expression: "Chief, after my deliberation. I decided to go to another club show, and I was here, and the boss must have known in his heart that Millwall had cultivated me, the contract treatment that had been given to me, the coach here. Teammates, all good, just, just"

"It's just that you want more opportunities, right?"

Aldridge said the rest for him, and Ferreira nodded frankly.

Paulo Ferreira, 22 years old. With just 18 appearances last season, Millwall would have made two appearances if he had gone further in two domestic cup competitions, but even two would have been far from enough.

At his age, there is no longer a zài to say that the physical fitness cannot keep up, and there are only many start-ups like Glen Shire, who don't want to kill a game. Start the explosion, clean the whole body energy play, and it's no problem to play less in the first two years.

At Ferreira's age, at least one game a week is no problem, just like Ashley Cole is going out on loan to exercise, Zambrotta, Pirlo and other once young players have now reached the stage where they have played 4o games in a season.

Aldridge was silent for a moment, he wanted Ferreira to stay, but just like he did with Glen Char. If Ferreira stays, unless Schneider suddenly declines and there is no recovery, then Ferreira still has a chance to get ahead at Millwall, otherwise, the next two years. Ferreira is destined to be a substitute, and without the guarantee of playing time, there is no way to improve his experience and ability, and he will be on the bench at Millwall.

"Have you thought about where to exhibit in the past?"

Aldridge asked, and Ferreira knew that the leader had agreed to his departure.

Ferreira is young, in the past games as a substitute, his table is decent, there are not many amazing swings, the top giants will definitely not consider buying him to play the main team, Ferreira himself knows this, he said: "I want to go back to Portugal. ”

Aldrich nodded, then promised to help him contact his new owner.

Portugal's three giants, Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Benfica, are not the top in Europe in contemporary times, only dominating in the small Portuguese countries, the vertical strength comparison is in the first-class middle, squeezing into the first-class ranks, Ferreira returned to Portugal, these three giants are interested in bringing him in, and in the end, Porto took him away from the Lion King Stadium for 7oo million pounds.

After the departure of Pacos Ferreira, the coaching staff was concerned about the depth of the squad at the back.

There are only seven players left in the back line, in addition to the main four, there are three left, Barzagli, Metzelde, and Neil, Neil is all-encompassing at the back, both fullbacks can play, Aldridge thought about it carefully and decided not to bring in reinforcements.

Neil's loyalty was stronger than he thought he would be, and there were teams in the summer who wanted to poach him, but he said in an interview: "Leaving Millwall? There will be a day when the boss will leave the club and I will leave later than he did, just as I came to Millwall before him. ”

Counting, Neil's qualifications are deeper than Aldrich's.

Before Aldridge came to take over the Lions, Neil was in the youth team, and the two players left behind that year, Keller left in the summer, Neil continued to stay, although he was not the main team, but he was the most qualified person in the Lions team to say loyal.

Last season's squad was more crowded, after streamlining personnel this season, Aldridge strives to stabilize the new season, no longer recruits, and can also create more opportunities for Nier, and at the end of the year, Schneider, 24-year-old Zambrotta, 28-year-old Materazzi, will be 31-year-old Southgate, this main backline, can be said to be at the peak of the player, as long as there is no injury, it is no problem to play full attendance to the limit, but Aldridge has never liked to squeeze the player's energy, and use the player in moderation, Having three reserve players is theoretically enough, but it's really not enough, and then draw new people from the lower echelons.

After more than a week of training, the Lions' warm-up match came as scheduled.

Schalke O4 lost the league championship in the last minute of last season can be described as a moment of joy and sorrow, to the new season of the fierce horse, to show their strength in the Champions League, the summer warm-up match is very serious, in the home first with an exaggerated score of 7:o to defeat the German second team after the whole team came to London, ready to meet the past two seasons to win the Champions League in a row, the baptism of the lions!

In the warm-up game, the warm-up is the main thing, Aldridge does not need to practice tactics, the main framework of the team is intact, and the purpose of the warm-up game is very simple, so that the players can find the feeling of the arena.

A buzzy warm-up match came to an end, Schalke O4 was poured 3 goals by Millwall, although Schalke O4 did not reach the best state, but Millwall obviously had no strength, England, the Champions League hegemony did not show the opponent to feel the huge difference in strength.
