Four of the five players who were enthusiastic about attending the Ballon d'Or ceremony returned to the club for training, while Nedved continues to recuperate from injury and is expected to return to joint training at the end of January.

Seeing the four players on the training ground, Aldridge had only one feeling: quiet.

It was a little eerily quiet, and I couldn't see how depressed they were, and it wasn't as silent as mourning more than death, and it was very different from their previous state anyway.

Aldrich symbolically comforted them a few words, and said nothing more.

He can't lash out at the Golden Globes on media platforms like he did back then.

It's not that the outside world can't see how good Millwall's players are, it's that they have too many excellent players!

Turnip greens, each with their own love.

The judges are all people, not machines, football values, and different perspectives.

To put it bluntly, they also lacked some luck.

If Aldridge is a judge, he also makes a difficulty, for example, if he likes La Liga, then the first name he votes for must be Figo, and then Zidane, Henry, Ronaldo or something, who comes first and who comes second, and he can't compare vertically, and he can't rack his brains to think about the order of the next four names.

If he likes Serie A, or likes the French team, or pays attention to the dà table, then the first name is Zidane, the second may be Henry, maybe Figo, anyway, the first name is often very important, and the latter one, just think about it.

If you like England, or like the Champions League, and pay attention to the club table, then Millwall's players are the judges' choice.

In the press conference ahead of the match against Manchester United, reporters also asked about the Ballon d'Or results. Ask Aldrich what he thinks.

As Aldridge once declared when he supported Larsson to win the Golden Ball, "the best players should help the team win top honors", then this year Figo was elected. Aldrich should have a stomach full of complaints.

But Aldrich really has no temper.

Figo has two points more than Zidane, and the gap with the back is not large, the advantage is minimal, if Millwall has one person who is the favorite, or, Larsson and Nedved do not have the popularity of the previous Ballon d'Or, it is estimated that Henry can win the Ballon d'Or with an absolute advantage.

Aldridge replied calmly: "If we notice that the top eight in the final selection are not very different, then we have to think about why this is happening. I think this represents the independence of the judges of the Ballon d'Or selection, each judge has his own vision, and the perspective of appreciating the players is different, and the players who can be candidates for the Ballon d'Or must have a skill and have a bright spot throughout the year, therefore. Each judge voted for the candidate they admired, and I think it's a difficult choice to choose why the vote is so scattered this time, and Millwall won the treble last season, but with the European Championship in the summer, the players' tournament table is an important reference criterion. And because the candidates are in different leagues and different styles of play, it is impossible to make a direct comparison, Figo finally won the Ballon d'Or, congratulations to him. He has been doing well for the past few years, winning a number of titles for Barcelona. I don't think there's any controversy about the results of the Ballon d'Or, but as Millwall's manager, I'm a bit sorry. ”

In Aldridge's view, there is no need to argue about whether Figo is more qualified to win the Ballon d'Or than Millwall's players, the root of the problem is not in the selection results, but because Millwall has too many excellent players, that's all, so there is no controversy.

Millwall lost the Ballon d'Or and didn't even have a top-three finisher.

However, Millwall set a record for the Golden Globe.

The total number of votes for the top three candidates in the same club is more than half of the total number of votes!

Five players, plus Southgate 1 vote, Zambrotta 2 votes, Schneider is sorry, o votes.

Millwall was shortlisted for 8 candidates, and the final number of votes was converted into scores, which is more than half of the total score!

Already Fleet Street media have consoled Millwall, saying they are the uncrowned kings of the Golden Globes.

It sounds a bit nonsense, but the intentions are good, Fleet Street didn't speculate about any shady scenes, even if there was controversy, it was not on Millwall, it was Zidane or Figo who deserved the Ballon d'Or, but under the backdrop of Millwall's five-star "fiasco", there was no need to discuss the controversy.

As far as the matter is concerned, before the Golden Ball Award became the FIFa Golden Ball Award, there was not much controversy, if there is, the original history o1 Owen was elected may be regarded as it, Liverpool, known as the five-crown champion, actually won a bunch of secondary championships, the most important league, the Champions League, no, but Bayern, who won the Champions League that year, the most glorious is Kahn, the goalkeeper wants to win the Golden Ball, it is too difficult, and Raul has been diluted by other superstars in Real Madrid, and has been nominated for candidates for many years, but has never been able to win the title, and is below Owen, The gap is not too big.

Each year's Golden Globe Awards are influenced by the context of the times and the events on and off the field of the year.

After becoming the FIFa Golden Ball Award, the biggest controversy was the first session of 1o years, Messi was elected, and Sneijder, who won the triple crown in Inter, did not even score in the top three, and only won the fourth place.

Is it controversial?

If you understand the rules of the FIFa Golden Globe Awards, you can only say that Sneijder is not in a good life.

Assuming the FIFa Golden Globe Awards are postponed by a year, Sneijder will undoubtedly win the Golden Globes.

Because the Golden Ball Award of "French Football" was selected by media reporters, 1o year, Sneijder had the highest vote rate in the media vote, with 7.7%, and the second and third places were Little White Iniesta and Xavi, 7.53% and 5.96% respectively, Messi only ranked fourth, 4.38% of the votes were less than 3% less than Sneijder, you must know that year, Forlan, who shined in the World Cup, only had 3.63% of the media turnout, and Ronaldo was not as good as Casillas, he only had O.41%.

But where did Messi win?

Won in the FIFa Golden Globe Awards expanded voting rules, increased national team captain and manager turnout. Combined, Messi beats all the other contenders. More than 1o% past Sneijder, Inesta and Xavi have also been left behind by 8%.

Is this a controversy?

It's not that professional reporters are blind, it's FIFa who made the Ballon d'Or selection indecent, which led to Platini's anger in restarting the European professional selection of Europe's best player.

The reporters present still have grievances against the results of the Golden Globes. Naturally, Fleet Street is hoping that the British player will win the Ballon d'Or again.

In particular, if Thierry Henry, who was in great form last season, can win the Ballon d'Or, Millwall will have three Ballon d'Or in the squad!

The undisputed superstars are gathered!

Aldridge will also join the ranks of other legends: he has single-handedly cultivated three Mr. Golden Balls!

Unfortunately, none of this was possible.

Aldridge saw it openly, immediately ending the topic of the Ballon d'Or and returning to the outlook for the match against Manchester United.

'Regardless of the result tomorrow, the league is not over. The suspense of the league title is still there, and there is no denying that Manchester United will definitely put a lot of pressure on me at home, having been runners-up in the league for the past four seasons. They've been holding on, they've been accumulating, and as direct rivals, I'm sure United won't let Millwall get away from the road with ease. That's good, I think in recent times. Millwall was deprived of pressure and the players relaxed a little. Attention is distracted by the previous unbeaten record, either feeling like the opponent is vulnerable to being unbeaten all the time, or even more nervous because we want to extend the unbeaten record, now, we can forget about that record, start over, focus on the game with all our hearts, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, we want to give a win as a Christmas gift to all the Lions fans. Beating Manchester United at Old Trafford? We are confident, of course there is, why not? We've won there and we're not nervous, the stronger the opponent, the more excited we are, and that's how Millwall should fight. ”

The next day, Millwall travelled to Manchester for Old Trafford.

Aldridge was greeted with boos from the crowd as he walked into Old Trafford, presumably saying at the pre-match press conference that the fact that United had finished runners-up in the Premier League for four consecutive seasons had uncovered the wounds of Red Devils fans.

Boo, he was used to it.

Ferguson walked onto the pitch with great seriousness, passing in front of Aldridge, and the two patted each other on the back and said hello silently.

Strong dialogue, 6-point battle, even if this is only the final battle of the first half of the league, but the impact on the whole season, there is no need to say much.

"Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! This year's English Christmas game is really heavyweight, the league battle, Manchester United hosts the defending champion Millwall, the strength of the two teams is undoubted, and now in the standings, Manchester United temporarily leads Millwall by 1 point, after 9o minutes of play, what will be the result? When Fleet Street analysed the game before the game, many people believed that if Manchester United lost at home today, then, most likely, they lost the opportunity to compete for the league title, which has nothing to do with the standings, but the mental blow brought by the loss to Millwall will affect the second half of the entire league! Ferguson also said before the game that today's game, a kind of Cheng dù is Manchester United's final, it seems that Ferguson also understands the importance of this game, once the home defeat and Manchester United are reversed, the mentality of the whole Manchester United team may be subversive. ”

"Let's take a look at the list of the two teams, Manchester United is still in the 442 formation today, the biggest change is that the forward line uses Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to partner Ruud van Nistelrooy, Andy Cole is not in good shape, York is caught in a love triangle scandal, Ferguson and his conflict has gradually become public, and now, Ferguson is trying to replace York with Van Nistelrooy. On Millwall's side, Gattuso was injured in training after returning from suspension, and this game can only be watched from the sidelines, replacing him as a midfielder, it is Neil, I don't know if he can withstand the impact of Manchester United. ”

Aldrich stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, staring at the arena with a solemn face.

When the game began, Aldridge's brow furrowed.

Manchester United playing 442?

the 442!

Aldridge looked at Ferguson in exasperation.

I'm cǎo, Lao Tzu was stolen!

Ferguson, you have been knighted, and you are openly stealing teachers, and you are openly using it when you beat Millwall!

Does Manchester United still dare to play 442?

Keane is good, but can he limit Millwall's attack group with a single midfielder?

If you can, not to mention Manchester United, Millwall has long been limited by the giants in Europe.

Today, Manchester United played a 4231.

Who is the man who is holding the midfield with Keane?

It was Xiaobei who was placed in the right midfield position by Aldridge in the England national team!
