Aldrich's "arrogant" stance at the press conference made him a thorn in the side of reporters, and the negative reports about him were surging, and other mainstream European media except Britain were attacking this invincible young marshal.
ridiculed him to the point where he couldn't afford to lose, and his psychological state changed drastically.
Some professional journalists on Fleet Street expressed a different point of view, not to mention arguing with their European counterparts, but clearly expressing one point: this is the situation that Aldrich wants most.
That's right, he is on the cusp of the storm and has become a controversial figure.
At the same time, the negative impact of Millwall's defeat was minimised.
This is where Aldrich is "cunning".
When things are going well, he will focus on praising the players, talking about the players' performances, and giving credit to all the players.
But when the team is in adversity, he will take the initiative to attract the attention of the outside world, no matter what way it takes!
Talk about the referees, the environment, the schedule, or simply throw yourself into the maelstrom of public opinion.
He doesn't care, but he does a good job of bringing quiet space to the team, not being distracted, reducing the pressure from the outside, and getting through adversity with the whole team in one mind.
Fleet Street reporters agree that Aldridge has raised the bar definition of a good coach.
The job of a manager is simple to say, win.
But winning today does not mean that the next game can be won, once the form of many teams declines, it may be affected for several consecutive games, and the ability of the head coach cannot be seen from the appearance, and Aldridge uses his own way. Go and serve the victory as much as you can.
For example, after his first-half draw with Arsenal, he slammed the FA's fixture schedule for a fixture problem, scheduling a battle of the best for a strong conversation on the league match day that follows the FIFa matchday. Aldridge was fined £5ooo by the FA, what did he get in return?
The focus is on whether Aldridge and the FA will start a war, rather than why Millwall failed to win Arsenal, and the media has been busy reporting Aldridge's remarks, reducing negative reports such as research and analysis of Millwall's team itself and criticism.
The situation is similar now, and the European media are reporting on Aldridge's arrogance and lack of respect for journalists after the game.
Millwall weathered the negative impact of the defeat on the road. By the time the weekend league game is over, what happened last week will be a thing of the past, and external pressures that can't hit Millwall's internal morale in the first place will allow them to effectively recover quickly and prepare for the next win, rather than the gloom that will continue to worsen.
Fleet Street thinks Aldridge does this. It's what a lot of managers lack, too many managers are obsessed with team training, tactical planning, etc., but lack the protection of the team when the team is in adversity, and when a defeat comes, the manager has to say something to distract the outside world. In turn, it avoids being focused by the outside world and forming a vicious circle.
Aldridge's approach is not the only one, many good managers after a heavy defeat in a game, the topic of conversation is not their own team's performance, but the referee's decision.
Offside is not offside, should not be awarded a penalty. The opponent deserves a red card or something.
Some of the penalties were recognizable at a glance by TV viewers, and these managers watched the replay. Can't you understand it?
It's not that you can't understand it, or you have to say it, so as to shift the focus of the outside world and avoid the negative impact on your own team.
At the weekend, Aldridge led the team to Villa Park, a game where Millwall was the main player, Aldridge simply adjusted the pace of the team, letting the players play and focus on taking opportunities and avoiding squandering.
Aston Villa still have hopes of qualifying for next season's UEFA Cup, hosting the defending champions who have just lost the Champions League, and they will want to take advantage of the fire and attack from the first minute.
Millwall deliberately recycled today to conserve energy and prepare for the next big game, Aston Villa looked to be the dominant side in the game, but they did not create any absolute scoring chances, Pagliuca's solid watch kept the goal open, Millwall seized the few two chances to change the scoreline, and Thierry Henry scored twice to help the team win away from home.
In the same round, Manchester United narrowly beat Charlton Athletic at Old Trafford to remain one point behind in second place.
Ferguson and Aldridge tacitly ceasefired, both teams ushered in a key battle, Millwall lost to Valencia in the first leg, Manchester United also lost in the first leg, lost to Bayern Munich, at this time, Manchester United and Millwall, no one will have nothing to do in the league and play psychological warfare, and it is serious to concentrate on preparing for the second leg of the Champions League 1/4 finals.
From the training in preparation for the second leg, many fans gathered outside the Leo training base to cheer for the team, and the fan organizations also took action, drawing new giant banners ready to be used in the game, new slogans, songs, cheering methods, etc., relying on the community to survive the club, the strong heritage always comes from the support of the fans, not how glorious the history.
Fans will be up to the Bats Army to create an unprecedented home atmosphere at the Lion King Stadium!
On the morning of the match, Aldridge stood honestly in front of the mirror in the bedroom cabinet, and Evan helped him straighten his suit, straighten his tie, look up and down, and nodded contentedly.
Aldridge smiled bitterly: "You should know that the game is in the evening. ”
"yes, I know."
Aldrich shook his head, kissed her, and walked away from home.
Evan walked to Bert and Earle's room, where the two little ones sat on the floor playing with a number puzzle, and she crouched down curiously to look at the two little ones, Bert made a circle to form a zero, and Earl put the number blocks into a "3" shape.
"Ha, are you saying Millwall will win the game 3:o tonight? Dad would be very happy if he knew. ”
Evan smiled, but Bert and Earl did not react, probably not understanding what Evan said. There is still something esoteric for them
The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is less than 15 minutes away.
The Lion King Stadium is lit up, and the stands are almost full of spectators. At first glance, a sea of blue floats with dense cheering slogans, and in the main stand, a huge portrait is being transmitted, on which is a frontal portrait of a lion roaring, sharp teeth, crazy eyes, hairy like needles. It is both majestic and intimidating.
Everywhere in the stands, people could be seen waving the Millwall flag and waving it, and a voice resounded in the sky.
"Millwall! Wild Lion! ”
"Millwall! Wild Lion! ”
The Bats fans who came to the away stadium were no match at all, just as the momentum they created at home was able to suppress Millwall's away fans, and now the feng shui is turning, and when it comes to Millwall's turf, it is not their turn to be in the limelight.
From the moment the players of both sides warmed up on the pitch, the Valencia players were shocked by the roar of the stadium. The tradition of England stadiums is that the stands are close to the stadium, which makes the cheering of the fans more impactful, and the cheering vibration brought by the more than 50,000 Lions fans at the Lion King Stadium is enough to surprise the Valencia players.
In the dressing room, no one in Millwall's players spoke, and many had their heads bowed with their eyes closed. They have already sorted out their jerseys, sneakers, shin guards and other equipment, and now they are just adjusting their emotions to make themselves excited.
Aldridge sat in the middle of the locker room, accompanying the whole team to adjust their mentality, and he didn't say a word. But he is here, so that all the players can not ignore his save. When I think of him, I think of the journey we have traveled together.
"We don't have to prove anything, we're the best team and we can now ignore all the voices and focus on one thing: writing our own history. As long as we work unswervingly in this direction, nothing can stop us, no! Well, now, Millwall, out! ”
Seeing that the time was about the same, Aldrich made a pre-war mobilization in a deep voice.
He got up and opened the dressing room door and walked out, followed by Larsson, and when the players arrived in the tunnel like a long queue, the Valencia players were already standing next to them and ready to play.
There is nothing to communicate with the players of the two teams, and this is a do-or-die battle for whether or not they can reach the last four of the Champions League, and it would be an absolute lie to say that there is no pressure.
Southgate, who was at the front of the team, suddenly turned around and shouted, "Millwall." ”
The whole team immediately shouted in unison: "Rush rush!" ”
Southgate raised his head and turned away, but Nedved suddenly shouted, "Millwall." ”
"Rush Rush!"
Larsson also concocted the same method, the three captains called on the whole team to shout their unchanged slogans one after another, everyone seemed to shout out all the pressure of the game, relieved at the same time, from the inside out, from the psychological changes to produce the body began to get excited, everyone's eyes were sharp, as if blooming with fierce light, surging fighting spirit!
Valencia's players stared at the strange group around them with wide eyes.
Shouting as if no one was in the tunnel was Millwall's home tradition?
England had a time of opening the game with rough moves to give the opponent a dismount to create psychological pressure on the opponent, but Millwall disdained to do so.
Aldridge will not take the initiative to run to meet the opponent on the bus to welcome the opponent to Anfield, as Xiang Shuai did, intending to increase the mental pressure on the opponent.
But the team occasionally intimidated the opposition with an imposing intra-squad boost in the opening period, which used to be on the pitch before kick-off, but today, in the tunnel of the players.
The referee team began to enter the field, followed by players from both sides.
The theme song of the Champions League echoed in the stadium, but the sound of music could not cover the cheering sound of the Lion King Stadium!
As the Valencia players lined up on the pitch, they suddenly had a strange thought: why did it feel like they had walked into the lair of a wild beast?
Millwall's whole team is high-spirited, the fans in the stands create a huge home momentum, they are more like an isolated team deep behind enemy lines here, the sky should not be called the earth, the pair of murderous eyes in the stands seem to regard them as a meal on the plate, just wait for the referee to blow the whistle and devour them wildly!
"The second leg of the Champions League quarter-final at the Lion King Stadium in London is about to begin, the two sides are Millwall and Valencia, a week ago, Valencia won 1:o at home with Gonzalez's goal against defending champion Millwall, today for Millwall, it is necessary to score to have any hope of advancing to the semi-finals, if Valencia can keep the goal, they will qualify for the Champions League semi-finals for the second year in a row! We look at the line-ups for today, Millwall has not changed anything Valencia made a change, Alexis Sanchez, replacing Kalou. The game starts right away, and it will be interesting to see who will reach the semi-finals of this season's Champions League in 9o minutes or 12o minutes! ”
