684 Thinking about life
As soon as the game ended, Aldridge shook hands with the Liverpool assistant coach, and then briefly summarized the game with the players in the dressing room, giving a limited amount of praise for their second-half appearance.
Even if the Reds were at their peak and had a full squad, Houllier didn't come as a surprise and Millwall had a better chance of winning, but the players had to be commended for their flawless tactical discipline in the second half.
The reporter in the mixed zone had been waiting for Aldrich for a long time, and when he appeared, the camera was focused on him for the first time, and the reporter took the microphone and asked: "Millwall won a 4-2 game, and Houllier was taken to the hospital in a game where he was unwell?" We saw that you were very attentive in front of the Liverpool dugout at the first moment. ”
Aldridge's face was heavy, and he wrote lightly: "The Liverpool players worked hard in the game, but our lads also showed the right attitude towards the game, to Liverpool, I can only say regret, the victory belongs to Millwall, we deserve it." It's an unfortunate day for Houllier, and it's not a good time to talk about it for now, sorry, I'm leaving. ”
He didn't give the reporter any more time to interview, turned around and walked out, the camera followed him all the way, and his back disappeared into the exit of the passage.
Aldridge asked Liverpool staff about which hospital Houllier was admitted to and took a taxi from Anfield.
On the way, he texted Evan to let her know how long he would stay in Liverpool for a while, and Aldridge himself did not know.
At the local hospital in Liverpool, Hollier's family had already arrived, and when Aldridge arrived, many reporters were waiting outside to follow the incident.
Aldridge greeted Houllier's family, and at the same time learned about Houllier's condition, and carried out rescue measures in the operating room, but the situation should be able to be optimistic. Because when Hollier came to the hospital, his heartbeat and pulse had stabilized.
6 Liverpool players came to visit, Aldridge and Gerrard, Owen, Carragher and other national team disciples only nodded and did not communicate verbally.
He sat alone in a chair in the hallway, and he was the focus of attention everywhere in the football circle, and everyone who came here was worried about Houllier. It also gave Aldrich quiet space to think.
Sitting in the corridor of the hospital, where angels and death coexisted, Aldrich understood why his heart was so heavy.
The job of a football coach is stressful, one of the team's results, the influence of the fan base, and the domination of the dressing room. Dealing with interpersonal relationships, in normal times, training, preparation, commanding, just 9o minutes of play, can make the head coach's heart rate and blood pressure feel like experiencing a thrilling roller coaster for more than half an hour. Over the years, there are many people who have become ill from hard work, and heart disease is also a high disease in this industry.
Behind the glory is the invisible dedication of ordinary people, and the health risk is very high.
A number of English managers also rushed to the news, and even Alex Ferguson arrived at Liverpool from Manchester.
Manchester United's game ended yesterday with a 2-O win at home to Leicester City, and Ferguson will naturally be watching this strong clash between Liverpool and Millwall today. He watched the game at home, and when he saw Houllier being sent away by ambulance, he immediately asked his friends to understand the progress of the situation, and he didn't watch the second half of the game, so he changed out of his casual clothes at home, put on a suit and rushed to Liverpool. It was only half an hour later than Aldrich to arrive at the hospital.
"What's wrong with Girard?"
Ferguson sat down next to Aldrich.
Aldrich didn't know much, just shook his head.
Ferguson's expression was also a little unnatural, and Aldrich suddenly remembered that Ferguson seemed to have a heart problem, so he turned his head and said to him: "Pay attention to your body." Check more when you have time. ”
Ferguson's heart attack came out two years later, causing huge waves in the original history, and Fleet Street even used the phrase "The Red Devil Empire Collapsed!" at the time. "Such news to report on Ferguson's heart disease.
"Well, I really envy you, young."
Ferguson accepted Aldridge's kindness, in fact, he also knew his physical condition, age is one thing, but it is undeniable that the overwork when he was young and strong laid the groundwork for today, you must know that ten years ago the Red Devils, Ferguson covered the sky with one hand, from youth training to scouting, training to games, everything was in his charge, and there was no such complete and sound management team as now, and the first-team coaching staff may have three or four people to take all the work on them.
Now I can't do it, and I still control all aspects in my own hands, so I must not have enough energy.
After more than an hour, Hollier came out of the operating room safely, he had already slept, and the doctor informed his family in detail about Holier's physical condition.
The danger to his life was resolved, but Houllier had to recuperate and recuperate, and it took a short period of recuperation.
In other words, Houllier will not be able to return to Liverpool's job as manager in the short term, unless he dies!
Aldridge and Alex Ferguson, as well as a number of English managers, were not concerned about the change in Liverpool's position and were relieved to hear Houllier settle down from a dangerous situation.
When he left the hospital, Aldrich lowered his head slightly, his expression still a little heavy.
Houllier is sick this time and may need a long period of recuperation.
The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.
At his age, it's even worse.
Aldridge suddenly thought: One day, will I become like Houllier?
It was almost early in the morning when he returned to London, and on the way, Aldrich suddenly thought about life.
To other 25.26-year-olds, this sounds a bit of a disease-free "shenyin".
But Aldridge's mental age is past 5o years old, and he is indeed in a state of mind to think for himself on the topic of life.
Witnessing Houllier's critical illness, his family's worries, and the unstoppable worry that accompanied him like a flood of worries, Aldrich forced Aldrich to re-examine his life.
Greed and ambition also come at a price.
This is what he felt most deeply after he took charge of the England national team, with a very tight schedule every day, and only after achieving a milestone that he had some breathing room. England, for example, are now in the World Cup finals, but the work on the national team will be increasingly heavy after the World Cup group draw results come out next month.
Bert and Earl had already fallen asleep, and Evan was sitting in the living room in his pajamas watching TV, and when Aldrich returned, she saw that Aldrich was not looking good. Asked in a low voice about Hollier's condition, Aldrich casually said a few words and went upstairs to take a shower and prepare to rest.
While lying on the bed, Evan whispered, "Talk?" You have something on your mind. ”
"I don't know what to talk about."
"Maybe from today onwards, I should have some restrictions on you."
"What?"
"You have to rest on time and get enough sleep. I will never again allow you to work late into the night in your study. Aldrich, I can't imagine that if one day you suddenly become critically ill, it would be a nightmare to think about it. ”
"Alas"
"Don't sigh! It's a very strict topic, you're not alone, you have a family. You have a lot of people who care about you, and a lot of people who need your attention. ”
Aldrich put his arm around her shoulder, twisted his face and kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said softly, "Got it." ”
From that day on, Aldrich's daily routine was supervised by Evan to ensure his health.
The next day, Aldridge and many other managers in England expressed their best wishes to Houllier, who suffered a heart attack on the sidelines. It has also attracted attention from all walks of life to the health of football coaches.
The battle for the first group stage of the Champions League continued in midweek, with Millwall returning to Glasgow in back-to-back games in the fourth round, following on from beating Celtic at home in the previous round.
The group that Millwall was in was called the Death Group.
After three rounds, there was not a single draw.
Millwall have won all three games and have nine points.
Juventus, Porto, and Celtic all have 1 win, 2 losses, and 3 points.
Millwall basically only need to win in the fourth round. can lock in the qualifying places, and basically lock the top spot in the group.
Millwall still played their main force in this game, and there was no sign of staying in the slightest, as their upcoming league schedule will be easier. The substitutes will be given some time, and Aldridge is also considering that there will be a FIFa game in the second half of the year.
Arriving at Celtic's home stadium, Millwall's players looked dazed and felt like they had gone to the wrong place.
In the stands at Celtic Park, Scottish fans sang the song "You Never Walk Alone".
Just three days ago, the whole Millwall team had just been shocked by this song at Anfield, but they didn't expect to come to Scotland and relive the feeling of being at Anfield.
Millwall have played Celtic in friendlies in the past, but they haven't played in Glasgow, so they can't get a sense of the club's orthodox fan atmosphere.
Celtic and Liverpool have the same anthem, and the two clubs also maintain a good relationship, with Diouf celebrating Liverpool's goal after a goal, which was strongly condemned by Liverpool's own fans.
Martin O'Neal and Aldridge kept their spirits high after a brief pre-match greeting.
This game is a life-and-death battle for Celtic.
Millwall, the strongest team in this group, they have played two meetings first, and if they can get a win or a draw today, then there is a real chance in the last two rounds!
Because the atmosphere in this stadium made the players feel "dangerous" inside, as if they were back at Anfield, they did not dare to take the slightest mistake in the game.
Celtic tried to slow down the game, using the ground passages that Scottish football excels at to wear down Millwall's fighting spirit, trying to seize Millwall's slack at some point to make a surprise attack.
This is Martin O'Neal's tactical arrangement.
Simply holding on to a draw could be crushed by the Millwall offensive.
Celtic must be strategically looking for opportunities.
But Millwall has become very old.
It's not just about speeding up the pace of the game on the pitch.
The Celtic played slowly and wore down their opponents, and Millwall, under the adjustment of Pirlo's control of the field, returned the favor with his own way.
Millwall rarely mentioned it throughout the game and slowed down.
The Celtics wanted to catch Millwall's laxity, and Millwall, in turn, caught the flaws that appeared after the Celtics' impatience.
The deadlock was broken in the 78th minute when Klose set Millwall to open the scoring.
The last 1o minutes became crazy, Celtic fell behind, and no longer had any scruples to catch up, Millwall exploded all the accumulated physical energy, and scored two goals in the last 1o minutes, and Ronaldo Jr. scored twice to help Millwall beat Celtic 3:O away.
Martin O'Neill was frustrated by the result, and the most crucial thing in the game of the giants is often the first goal.
When the weak team scores, the weak team's defense will be more firm, and the giants will break the wilderness first, and the opponent's defense will be loosened, giving the giants more opportunities.
In the other game, Juventus won Porto at home, Millwall qualified early with 12 points, Juventus 6 points, and Celtic and Porto were tied on 3 points.
With the last two rounds remaining, the fate of these three teams is unpredictable, as Juventus will be visiting the Lion King Stadium in the fifth round!
