"Through the wind, through the rain, your dreams may be shattered, but with the hope in your heart, you will never walk alone, you will never walk alone"

Despite the notoriety of the hooligans of English football, it is undeniable that there are imitations of English fans all over the world, because there are fans who interpret loyalty with their actions, and even if English football is in decline, there are still fans who live and die with the team.

In the stands on all sides of Anfield, it was red, and fans held Liverpool scarves aloft and sang the song "You Never Walk Alone".

In Aldrich's previous life, he watched the Liverpool game from TV, and the Chinese commentator said that the name of this song is "You Will Never Go on the Road Alone", although the meaning is similar, but the artistic conception seems to be far behind, never walking alone means always together, and not going alone on the road is more or less unsatisfactory, for which he thinks that the commentator's level is very poor.

When he walked out of the tunnel, he didn't walk to the visitors' dugout, but stood on the sideline parallel to the halfway line of the pitch, where the fourth official should have been, but he stood here first, looking around the stadium with his hands on his hips and a serious face, as if trying to imprint every fan singing with a scarf in his eyes.

"What about the lens? What about the damn shots? Aim at him! He appeared! F-uck, Ruud, if you don't point the camera at Hall in ten seconds, you won't have to go to work tomorrow! ”

In the live broadcast of the studio, the Sky director roared angrily, and he could see Aldridge from the box, but the camera didn't catch up.

Commentators Andy Gray and Martin Taylor haven't started their work yet, but the two look at Aldridge on camera and get his perspective from all angles.

"Martin, what is he doing?"

"I guess he's feeling the atmosphere."

"Maybe, this is not Old Trafford, this is Anfield, I hope he won't be frightened again, there are no female fans here who will give kisses, only hostile fans like fighters."

"I don't think it's like he's here for the first time, it's a game to remember."

'What do you think Millwall will do today? I mean, what are their goals? A draw, or a win? Anyway, it can't be to send three points. ”

"Of course it's a win, Aldridge needs a win to motivate his players, otherwise how would so many lads in the team listen to him? He is so young, all he can give is victory, which will make the players follow him with all their hearts! ”

Melanie's family was also in the stands, and like the rest of the fans, they sang with their scarves held high, and when the song was over, the applause rang out and lasted for a long time.

Melanie's younger brother pointed to Aldridge on the sidelines, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed: "Sister, your boyfriend is scared silly!" ”

Melanie pursed her lips and smiled: "Let him see how good Liverpool is, he must be scared silly!" Ha Lu Ha. ”

The KOP stands resounded with fanatical shouts, and on the other side, Millwall fans from afar also clapped and chanted Millwall's name, although this was not a contest of energy equality, but no side died down, and the war in the stands never stopped.

Aldridge, who was on the sidelines, took a deep breath after taking a look at Anfield, closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them with a smile.

Anfield, I'm finally here!

Not as a fan, but as a manager!

Great stadium, great stage, hotbed of great competition!

With respect for the sages, Aldridge walked slowly towards the visitors' dugout.

Once upon a time, when the Crazy Gang was a guest at Wimbledon, every player would spit on the 'This is Anfield' sign in the Anfield tunnel in defiance, and Aldridge was very disgusted by that.

Football can be unscrupulous, but he has his own bottom line.

He will encourage the players to fight above board, and he will make the players understand that it is an honour to win here, and not to deluge themselves into devaluing the field, which will only make the victory worthless.

Moreover, the founder of that brand was a great figure in the history of the Red Army: Bill Shankley.

Perhaps many neutral fans know the name because of the famous saying: football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death.

This is a big mistake, Bill Shankly never said that, he said it in an interview: "Some people think football is a matter of life and death, and I am very disappointed with this attitude, and I am sure that football is more important than life and death."

In fact, combined with the context and the questions of the interview, Shankly is just expressing a positive attitude towards victory, rather than being misinterpreted and spreading more and more widely into the kind of cold-blooded disregard for life.

Bill Shankly created the soul of the Red Army, his winning philosophy has a gentlemanly style, he will use all kinds of psychological warfare, such as when the away team comes to Anfield, he will personally go to the bus to wait, and then welcome the opponent in a high-profile manner, in order to put psychological pressure on the opponent, but his bottom line is also very clear, can not tolerate dirty methods on the field, so, one of Shankly's most hated managers, is the Inter Milan founder Herrera in the big international era.

Shankly pioneered the Liverpool boot room tradition, creating a division of kings, as simple as himself, passionate, tough, joyful, and more or less romantic.

Aldridge had a lot of respect for Shankly in the course of his studies, and he even thought that if he could go back to the sixties, he would be caught in a dilemma: whether to be swoon by the Busby boys, or to fall in love with the charisma of Shuai, and to be a British fan through and through, not to like Manchester United and Liverpool at the same time.

The appearance of players from both sides brought Aldridge back to reality from contemplation, and he looked at Liverpool's group of players on the pitch, and his eyes showed a little envy, because there are many talented people in this group of players.

The 22-year-old Jack Redknapp is even more popular than Manchester United's Paul Scholes at this time, because by this time Redknapp Jr. has already been selected for the England national team.

23-year-old Steve McManaman, if it's not for injury, why should England regret that Ryan Giggs is Welsh?

20-year-old Robbie Fowler, Liverpool's "God", the young Liverpool golden boy squeezed Ian Rush to the bench.

Although goalkeeper David James is not up to the world's level, he can become an England international in the future, at least his strength must be affirmed.

What makes Aldridge sigh is that Liverpool also has a Millwall academy character in the team, left-back Neil Ruddock, a player who looks a little fat, entered the Millwall youth team at the age of 15, was poached at the age of 18, and returned to Millwall for a short year a few years ago, and is still in his prime.

Aldridge quickly retracted his gaze, I was lucky, I lost my life, envy others never end, he just regretted a little, Liverpool, as one of England's traditional three giants, is a typical example of rigidity and stubbornness, even West Ham United in east London began to introduce modern sports medicine to ensure the health of players, but Liverpool has always been skeptical and resistant to advanced medical care, which ruined their hopes?

It's just that the current group of people on the field, Jamie Redknapp, Robbie Fowler, Rob Jones, who retired at the age of 27, etc., are not players who accuse the club of not taking good care of the players if they have injuries, but later generations of players have disclosed the poor level of Liverpool club doctors, and even Redknapp was misdiagnosed, trained and played with a broken foot for a long time, and then changed from a small injury that could be solved by surgery to a comminuted fracture.

Moreover, there is another fatal factor for Liverpool to not return to the top, the Red Army under Shankly is disciplined, and the same is true of Ferguson during this period, Lee Sharp is willing to fall, Ferguson can't save him, then sell him to avoid taking other players with him, but what about Liverpool? Their group of geniuses has a nickname: Hot Brother. This nickname comes from their private life off the court.

There are two major enemies in a player's career, one is injury and the other is depravity.

Liverpool have both, so don't complain about why there are always talented teams that can't win the top flight.

Therefore, Aldrich's team building philosophy is to avoid the obstruction of these two major enemies, the advanced medical department, strict discipline in the team, and the three captains who are strict with themselves off the field, even if it is Materazzi, the fourth captain, is a bad guy on the field, and he is a good gentleman off the field.

Players from both sides set up and prepare for kick-off.

"Audience friends, in the third round of the English Premier League, we broadcast a key match of this round for you live at Anfield, the Reds Liverpool face the visiting Millwall, maybe Millwall is not a strong team in our impression, but Millwall, who played in the Premier League for the first time this season, has shown good fighting power, they first played a thrilling 5-5 away from Manchester United, and then easily defeated derby rivals Arsenal in the last round, showing strong strength."

"Before the season, many critics thought that Millwall were a relegation team and were worried about the time it would take for Millwall to adapt to the Premier League, but Aldridge's team shattered all doubts in two games, Millwall is a strong team, there is no doubt, but Liverpool is worrying, the first round was only a one-goal win over the underdog Sheffield Wednesday, but the second round was lost to Leeds United, today at Anfield, can they win the Lions? After 90 minutes of play, hopefully it won't be an unexpected ending. ”

"Introducing the starting line-up of both sides, Millwall's starting line-up is the same as the previous two games, without any changes, Liverpool's starting line-up is goalkeeper: David James, defenders: Rob Jones, Mark Wright, John Scalles, Neil Rudalk, midfielders: Jason McAtier, John Barnes, Jamie Redknapp, Steve McManaman, forwards: Robbie Fowler, Stan Collymore. Wright, a 32-year-old veteran in their backline, doesn't know if he will become Millwall's main attack, because in the first game against Manchester United, Bruce was attacked by Millwall and made mistakes, and Collymore, who was poached from Nottingham Forest in the summer, did not get into the groove quickly, he scored 24 goals at Nottingham Forest last season, but when he came to Liverpool, it seems that he and Fowler failed to spark, but Millwall's forward line makes people look forward to it more, Larsson, who scored four goals in two games, is undoubtedly a contender for the Premier League Golden Boot this season, Manchester United's seven million pounds did not take him, if Larsson can come up with brilliant statistics this season, his value will rise, the topic is a little far, well, Liverpool's Fowler has kicked off, spectators, the game begins, let's enjoy the next red and blue battle! ”
