709 Speak out about ambition
The scene of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
When the final results were announced, the audience roared with joy, and all the guests stood up and applauded.
12 years later, for the fifth time, the Ballon d'Or has won the top three with the same club!
The first and second were for the West German national team, the third and fourth for the AC Milan dynasty, in '88 and '89, and in '88 in the same period, the Dutch national team won the top three.
And for the fifth time, after a lapse of 12 years, Millwall accomplished such a feat!
3rd place, Andrea Pirlo.
Second place, Ronaldinho.
1st place, Henry.
Ronaldo, who was in second place, was only 4 votes away from Henry, Pirlo was a long way from the top two, with a difference of 8o points in the voting score, and he did not have much advantage over the fourth and fifth places, the fourth place was won by Nedved, and the fifth place was Larsson, until the sixth place, the name of the other club player, Owen.
Millwall not only finished the top three, but also miraculously reached the all-time peak of winning the top five in the Ballon d'Or voting!
There is no doubt that the Wild Lion Dynasty has reached a peak in the pure sense of the word this year, both in terms of team honor and individual honor!
The guests also gave a standing ovation and paid tribute to the award-winning players who created the Lion Dynasty.
Millwall's players and their families who had been seated in a row also got up.
The players looked at each other and smiled, and the camera focused on Ronaldo and Henry, the two embraced, and Henry whispered to Ronaldo for a long time amid the applause of his teammates.
Before the results were revealed, Millwall's players were in a state of apprehension.
I came to the ceremony today and I was very low-key. The devil knows if it will be an empty rejoicing. With last year's experience. This year, even if the outside world is loud, they dare not have particularly high expectations.
Now that the results are in, Millwall won by a big margin, Ronaldo has no regrets, he is only 21 years old, and finishing second this year will also help for the future, although Henry's age also looks young. He was only 24 years old.
However, Henry's crazy performance of scoring goals over the years will not be questioned by no one when he wins the award.
Trophies, individual counts, and field tables are impeccable.
When Henry took the stage to deliver his acceptance speech, Fleet Street was preparing the news headlines to be published the next day, and in addition to reporting on Henry's award, there was also a news story that they were focusing on.
"Aldrich Hall chases Schels! Mr. Golden Globe Creator! ”
When Henry became the Ballon d'Or of the year, Aldridge added to his personal honours and laid the foundation for what may be unprecedented in the future.
Larson. Nedved, Henry.
He has produced three Ballon d'Or winners.
Only Michels has done this in history. Now, Aldrich is on par with his achievements, and in the future, as long as Aldrich cultivates another Mr. Golden Ball, this record will be the best in the past!
Aldrich, who was watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, was already standing on the sand, roaring excitedly and partying with his friends.
He didn't listen to what Henry said, anyway, it was basically some diplomatic rhetoric arranged by his agent.
Bert and Earl were also bouncing around Aldridge like two little madmen, and in their eyes, Henry's award was like a new championship.
"Hey, Aldrich, it's not over yet. UEFA seems to have announced a new accolade. ”
"Huh? What the? ”
Aldrich put his arm around Evan and a bottle of wine in his other hand, and asked with a smile after taking a sip of it.
"Coach of the Year, it's you!"
Carter pointed to the TV, Aldrich stared at it, laughed and said, "This award is not interesting!" ”
In the new century, UEFA is also moving with the times, so it has opened a European Team of the Year and Best Coach of the Year.
This selection is not authoritative, and can only be said to be an honorary award set up by an authoritative organization.
Voters are registered on UEFA's official website, and then submit a list of the best 11 and managers in their minds, and UEFA will announce the results after statistics.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this award does not have much authority.
It's better to talk than nothing, and it's better to have a prize than nothing.
When the Team of the Year results were announced, no one was surprised.
Goalkeeper: Canizares.
Defenders: Schneider, Hyypia, Southgate, Lizarazu.
Midfielders: Beckham, Nedved, Zidane, Ronaldinho.
Forwards: Thierry Henry, Trezeguet.
Best Manager: Aldridge Hall.
Five of the 11 players of the year are from Millwall, and with Trezeguet having a Lions background, the results and the impact of the Ballon d'Or have made the fan base have a word of commentary.
Half Team Best Out of the Wild Lions!
Millwall's name as the cradle of superstars is even louder.
Three days later, the results of the draw for the second group stage of the Champions League were revealed.
After the results of Millwall's group were announced, the media lamented: When is the time for retribution?
Millwall, Bayern Munich, Galatasaray, Bovista.
Bayern Munich alone, Millwall has met in Europe for the fourth year in a row!
Last season's Champions League final opponents played two games in the second group stage.
Galatasaray also had a grudge with Millwall.
Even Bovista, an unfamiliar face, has a bit of a hatred for Millwall, even if it's played up by the media.
What team is Bovista based in?
Portugal!
In which city?
Porto!
Millwall have just sent Porto home in the group stage and now face a team from Porto, Portugal.
Millwall's Ballon d'Or players took a short break to show their faces at the Ballon d'Or extravaganza before returning to the squad for the Christmas East London derby.
A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.
On the eve of the East London derby, Aldridge attended the press conference with a smile on his face.
A reporter asked him what he thought of Henry's award.
Aldridge laughed: "That's what he deserves, how many goals he's scored for the team. It's a testament to how important he is. As for how good he is. Just look at how many teams want him. ”
All over Europe, although not every big club is chasing Henry, but those who have the financial resources, more than 8o% want to get Henry.
Reporters also understand that every time during the transfer period, Henry must be associated with many giants, and their own news has become a fixed material, and chasing the wind and shadows is to make Henry and other giants have some scandals.
"Millwall's players have swept the top five of the Ballon d'Or. This is a situation that has never been seen before in history, and it should be considered a great achievement of Millwall, right? Do you think this result is fair? ”
"Fair? If you don't think it's fair, then you have to show what the basis is fair, not only do these five players do their job well and help the team to win consistently, but they all have their own characteristics and are the object of imitation by many young players, they are idol players, like Nedved. Larsson, also an exemplary player. At this point, I think the coach has the most right to speak, and there should be no coach in the world who would refuse to have such a player. ”
Aldridge was talking eloquently, and now it was a little fluttery.
Spiritual pleasure is the greatest.
British records, European records, team honors, individual honors, Millwall have all broken history, and now open the records of the five major leagues, home streak, unbeaten, league winning streak, undefeated, goal record, attack group record, goal difference record, record slaughter record, number of games, and a period of trophie records, players' personal peak honor records.
It can be said that Millwall's second-generation Lions have reached their peak in his hands, and even the outside world can no longer have higher goals for this team.
What they can do is to break through themselves, and the object they want to cross is also themselves!
The atmosphere at the press conference was harmonious, more like Aldrich chatting with reporters.
The reporter can't find fault with the mad lion, when Aldrich is proud of the spring breeze and the mad lion is at its peak, he can't afford to pour cold water, which seems to be disgusting to others, and it is boring to harm others and himself.
This was followed by the Champions Cup draw grouping.
Aldridge smiled unabated, and the reporter had his previous experience and asked an alternative question.
"What do you think would be the best draw for Millwall?"
Why do journalists ask?
Because last year, Aldridge privately said after the draw results came out that it would be best to be in a group with the strongest team.
Aldridge said with a smile: "Because we won all 6 games and qualified for the first place, so the draw for the second stage of the group stage has great limitations, the same league to avoid, we will be in the same group with the second in the two groups and the first in one group, draw Bayern Munich should be regarded as the strongest of the opponents, maybe Real Madrid is also a very good opponent, as for the second in the two groups, Rome is the strongest, and then, among the other opponents who can be drawn, it will be Galatasaray, Now the result of this draw should be about the same. ”
"The results of the draw for the second stage have come out, will it be difficult for Millwall to advance to the quarter-finals?"
"Hahahaha."
Aldrich laughed loudly.
Many reporters also laughed along with his laughter.
This question sounds redundant.
It would be ironic if Millwall fell outside the quarter-finals.
It's not that the strong team won't capsize in the gutter, but the probability of capsizing in the group stage is not large, because the error tolerance rate is high, unlike the knockout round, which didn't swing well in 18o minutes in the knockout round, so don't be too surprised to be upset, the law of football is like this.
But to say that four teams, six games, two qualifying places, the strongest and most stable favorite in the group were kicked out, it is estimated that it is not only an upset, but also a series of upsets to brew such a result.
Aldridge smiled and then his expression was a little relaxed, and he said solemnly: "Millwall has fought hard in the past two seasons, won two Champions League trophies, this season we have established a huge advantage in the league, we have more room to prepare than other teams participating in the Champions League, we are the defending champions, we have three Ballon d'Or, we have half of the best players in Europe, we are strong because we have the will and determination to overcome difficulties, We will be fully prepared to deal with unexpected problems that may arise at a time, and then overcome the difficulties and try to extend our glory in this period, when we won the Champions League for the first time in '98, I told my players, we won the title, we know what we have to give, what we can gain, we have experience, do you want to relive the joy of winning the championship? Want to enjoy that glory? Then we must always be ready to fight, this is Millwall's football philosophy, is the team's spiritual belief, since we are already the most concerned team in Europe, the world, a top team! So, I don't have to hide anything, Millwall's goals in Europe this season are just higher than last year's, and we want to try to achieve three consecutive Champions League titles! Of course, it won't be easy, but we are not a team that takes one step at a time, our ambition is to reach the top of Europe and the world, and it will continue to do so! (To be continued......)
