114 advanced to the finals

When it's time to get down to business, Andrew has always been resolute.

He did not show up, but assigned a lawyer from the law firm to represent Aldrich and drove away with Aldrich.

The British paparazzi followed them all the way and eventually found Aldridge walking into the district court with his lawyer.

Paparazzi waited outside the door, and some people went in disguise to inquire about the news.

Half an hour later, Aldridge was the first to walk out, avoiding the interview and driving home.

The lawyer who represented him came out and made a brief statement.

"I have filed a lawsuit against Miss Katie Price on behalf of my client, Mr. Aldrich Hall, for defamation, and we have also applied to the court for an injunction and we have sufficient evidence that Miss Katie Price has seriously harassed my client's normal life."

The paparazzi asked questions again and again, but the lawyer said no more.

They all wanted to know what the evidence was.

And those materials have already been submitted to the courts.

However, the evidence was made public a little later.

As for who leaked it, no one knows.

Aldrich's phone recording, coupled with the "nude photos" that Katie Price took the initiative to mail to Aldrich, suddenly the British tabloids were overwhelmingly reporting the incident.

When digging into the truth behind the incident, the surveillance video of the Green Hotel was also made public, and on the night of the incident, Katie Price came to the hotel, but from beginning to end, Aldridge never appeared, and the ten men in the suite were also found, and they admitted that they were waiting for Katie Price to come to the door to prostitute themselves, and they also admitted that they had not seen Aldrich.

Katie Price tried to increase her popularity and exposure by throwing dirty water on Aldrich, and she succeeded, at least her name became known almost overnight, and everyone knew that she was a girl who put herself on a price of £2,000 a night.

Andrew's side was very well prepared, all the witnesses in the incident were arranged, and pressure was put on the court side to start the trial as soon as possible.

Katie Price sent a message to Aldridge through her lawyer the next day, hoping to settle privately, Aldridge withdrew the lawsuit, and she promised not to harass Aldridge again.

However, Aldrich did not have the consciousness of pity and immediately refused.

In training for the midweek Carabao Cup quarter-finals, there was a strange atmosphere in Millwall's squad, with players glancing at Aldridge on the sidelines from time to time.

"Robert, are you lazy? Two laps of the course, go! ”

Aldridge shouted with a straight face, and Pire raised his hand helplessly, and then went to run around the field, and the other players laughed in their hearts.

It's not a good thing for the coach to get into a peachy turmoil, especially for mature and self-disciplined professional players, if their boss can't be respected by them, then there will be a rift in the relationship, even if playing football is a profession, but there are also likes and dislikes in interpersonal relationships.

There is already a mentor-apprentice relationship between the manager and the players, and the best way to describe the two is that they are mentors and friends, and if Aldridge is indiscriminate, he will not have the confidence to ask the players to be disciplined off the field.

The day before he left for Maine Road, Aldridge attended a press conference alone.

British journalists have always liked to ask questions that are not relevant to the subject, regardless of the occasion.

When his relationship with Melanie was exposed before, Aldrich simply replied a few times, and then because the relationship between the two was very low-key, there was no topic for tabloid reporters to dig into, and today, the topic focused on Aldrich's off-the-field defamation case.

In the face of the reporters' bombardment, Aldrich pressed his hand and said impatiently: "I only said once, she wants to make money, I can't give it to her for nothing, so I gave her the opportunity to make money, hoping that she will do it for herself and stop harassing me, but she spread rumors and slandered my reputation, I had to seek legal means to solve the problem, well, this is the whole of the matter, this is the end of it, from now on, there are topics other than the game, I refuse to answer." ”

The reporters were still interested in asking more details, but Aldrich kept silent and responded.

As a last resort, the press conference finally returned to the football game itself.

Manchester City has had a hard time in the past few years, the past three years have been almost relegated, and this season has fallen to the bottom, since the beginning of the season has been sinking in the relegation zone, in the face of such an opponent, Aldridge sent the main force as much as possible, even if it is a visit, he has no reason to be afraid of Manchester City.

The next day, Millwall returned to Manchester in good spirits, and at Maine Road, Manchester City deliberately used a semi-substitute squad for the league, after all, even if they won the cup, if they were relegated from the Premier League, then the price of the trophy would be too heavy.

Millwall dominated the game at Maine Road and won with a clean three-goal win thanks to Trezeguet's hat-trick to advance to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

The weekend was the last league fixture of the Premier League's first half, with Millwall fielding a younger squad at home to a narrow one-goal win over London civil rivals Queens Park Rangers.

At the end of the first half of the league, Aldridge's Millwall were still eight points behind Premier League leaders Newcastle United, but their debut season was exciting enough.

However, he began to have headaches.

Because, the Christmas Express has been turned on.

Despite last season's experience, many outsiders in the team are still homesick, and they are not used to the intensive schedule of fast trains without a winter break.

The most terrible thing is that in early and late January, Millwall will play the semifinals of the League Cup, the opponent is Leeds United, Aldridge for the championship trophy, naturally attaches great importance to these two games, but in the middle, the Premier League is driving fast, and Millwall has ushered in the second half of the devil's schedule!

On Christmas Day, Alex Ferguson led a new generation of Red Devils to the Lions' Den Stadium, and the return of Eric Cantona was a thrill to the Red Devils, who still remembered their opening league game half a season ago, and Millwall and Manchester United presented another goal feast for the fans on the festive day of Christmas.

3:3.

Unlike the first round of the league, Millwall scored two goals in the last 20 minutes after falling behind all the time, so that Ferguson, who was in sight of victory, couldn't help but burst into foul mouth on the sidelines.

Aldridge, on the other hand, looked a little ugly at the end of the game.

Of the three goals conceded in this game, apart from Andy Cole's long-range shot, half of the other two goals conceded were the goalkeeper's responsibility.

Casseli Keller is not a top goalkeeper after all, and weaknesses will be exposed when faced with a strong team with strong firepower.

The young goalkeeper Bout, who has played eight games this season, is getting better and better, although the opponent is not strong, but in front of the slightly weaker defensive line, he can always make good saves in high and low blocks, and the most important trait is a must-have for a goalkeeper: stability.

Bout has that.

Aldridge invited Alex Ferguson for a drink after the game, but because it was Christmas, Ferguson regretfully said that he would meet again for the next meeting.

In order to prepare for the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals in early January, the 21st round of the league against Highbury, Aldridge sent most of the substitutes, Arsenal under the leadership of Rioci started low and high, stumbled at the beginning of the season, and now it is gradually getting better, at least in terms of points, Arsenal is sixth in the league, and there is no hope of winning the title, but at least the gap with Millwall and Manchester United is not big, only 7 points.

But this is destined to be a season of failure for Riocchi, Arsenal still can't change the shadow of the dull football of the past, Riocchi only made the team stable and revitalized the team's fighting spirit, but there is no fundamental change in tactical style.

As a result, Arsenal, who are good at defense, faced Millwall's youth army, with no bright spots in attack and no leaks in defense, and the two sides presented a dull 0:0 game in the second leg of the league competition.

Millwall are one point above United in the table after a draw with Manchester United left Newcastle United 11 points ahead of United and 12 ahead of Millwall ahead of January.

At this point, Ferguson was fully focused on the league, and the rhetoric was aimed at Kevin Keegan.

So much so that Kevin Keegan, who was so embarrassed and angry, completely lost his mind and said such a sentence in a gaffe in an interview with the BBC.

"I really want to beat Manchester United, really, really want to beat Manchester United"

He was unwilling, obviously he was the leader, but he seemed to lack confidence, which made him a laughing stock of fans.

Kevin Keegan is like a good student who won the first place in the class in the midterm exam, and was suddenly sarcastically said by the class president that this is nothing, you will definitely not get the first place in the final exam, and the first is the class president, so that the mentality of such a good student begins to be unbalanced.

Aldridge has no intention of joining the war of words, and he is steadily eyeing his team, which had an up-and-down period last year, and this year he intends to rotate his players more to lay the groundwork for the second half of the season.

Leeds United, who have been fifth in the league for the past two years, have been unable to distance themselves from the relegation zone and are distracted by the league and Aldridge are focused on the cup competition in the lower half of the table.

The first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final was played at the Lions' Den Stadium, and thanks to goals from Larsson and Nedved, Millwall won 2-0 to take the lead.

Liverpool have been chasing behind Millwall since the start of the season, and the hatred of Anfield's reversal is still swirling in their minds, and they are away at the Lions' Den with a determination to get revenge, but the last thing Aldridge's side are afraid of is facing a team at home who dare to attack.

At 3-2, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's brace and Glen Schal's goal helped the team beat the Reds before the break, and Aldridge achieved a double against traditional giants Liverpool in his first season in the Premier League.

But then they suffered a draw at home to Blackburn.

Millwall fans don't care much about the league table now, either.

Millwall drew 1-1 with Leeds United at Elland Road and advanced to the final with a 3-1 win over two legs in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

Their final opponent is Aston Villa, who are provisionally fifth in the league.
