Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——

Amid the cheers of the Lion King Stadium, the starters of Millwall and AC Milan lined up to enter the pitch.

When the players of both sides shook hands before the game, the whole Millwall team shook hands with the AC Milan players in a normal way, except when Shevchenko passed by, they chose to hug.

In the club museum just outside the stadium, Shevchenko is also one of them, visitors can check the content of Shevchenko's games when he played for Millwall, the honors he received, even if it was Stam who broke up and ran away that year, they are also the history of Millwall, which cannot be erased, fans can choose to support and resist emotionally, but history is history and cannot be changed.

Ronaldo and Henry have made fans completely forget about Trezeguet and Shevchenko, in Aldrich's conception of building a team, the current trident is also stronger than back then, and the second generation of the Wild Lions, which reached its peak, is far more powerful than the first generation.

As the game was about to start, Henry and Larsson, who were standing in the center circle to prepare, suddenly heard Ronaldo laughing and shouting a word to the team.

"Hey guys, let's have a blast!"

Henry and Larson looked at each other and smiled, raising their eyebrows in unison, and the corners of Nedved's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a rare slightly hideous smile.

It is obvious that there is ambition behind his expression.

A new season, a new stadium, and a new honor are waiting for them to harvest.

The dynastic era of the Wild Lion.

They want to do everything they can to keep it going.

Beyond whom?

Ac milan? Liverpool? Real madrid?

Who knows, keep going, never stop fighting!

The curtain of the new season is approaching. Preparing teams are also paying more attention to the quality of friendlies. Even if you don't work hard 100%. However, the attitude of the game was completely different from before, and today was a milestone day for Millwall, the Lions were fully engaged from the first minute, the game was not intense, but they played in a very disciplined manner, controlled the tempo, pressed the attack, and AC Milan fell into passivity from the start.

AC Milan boss Silvio Berlusconi couldn't sit still before the end of last season. Because AC Milan failed to defend the league title and went out of the Champions League in shame, the owner shouted early to buy big stars to boost morale in order to win the hearts of fans.

At the end of the season, Galliani made an offer to Andrea Pirlo and Zambrotta, Aldridge refused, and AC Milan fell silent, and AC Milan passed on Mr. X, who eventually took Redondo from Real Madrid.

Just look at the transfer value, $17 million. Real Madrid was like a jumping sale, but before Redondo's transfer. AC Milan and many media know that Redondo has a knee injury, 17 million, more like AC bought fame and created a sensation, this transfer was later criticized by many media and listed as suspected of money laundering.

Galliani actually brought a lot of strong reinforcements to AC Milan in the summer, and if Redondo can recover from injury and maintain the level of Real Madrid, even if it is at 80% level, it is definitely a great deal, and at the same time, it also introduced Kaladze, the absolute main defender of the Brazilian national team, Júnior, the Uruguayan genius Garcia, and the promotion of Antonini and other rookies from the youth team.

But as Aldridge said in an interview, it is one thing for players to have strength, and it is another thing to be able to adapt to their own team.

Therefore, the biggest gain from AC Milan's recruitment this year is actually only Kaladze.

Júnior, who was on the pitch today, became the sinner of AC Milan.

Millwall finished the first half with a two-goal lead, both of which came after finding an open space and playing through the area where Júnior was defending.

Zaccheroni shook his head from the sidelines and replaced Júnior at half-time.

The Brazilian defender is obviously not adapted to Italy's defensive system, and Zaccheroni's own tactical design is a back three, so it is natural that the central defender must be extremely stable in order to ensure defensive efficiency.

Aldridge brought on Frank Lampard and Pedreti in the second half, giving Andrea Pirlo and Gattuso a little more rest.

The cheers of the fans did not stop for a moment, and today's friendly match was the closest time they watched the team play after two and a half months, and Millwall's good form satisfied everyone.

AC Milan made some dangerous moves in the second half, but they were still close to opening the scoring when substituted Villa scored in place of Larsson to make it 3-0.

The opening friendly at Millwall's new stadium ended well and will go down in the history of this stadium and the history of the club.

After the game, the players of both sides exchanged a few words on the field, and Shevchenko took the initiative to walk up to Aldrich and congratulate him.

Aldrich hugged Shevchenko and whispered words of encouragement in each other's ears.

Although AC Milan is a bit of a waning day in Serie A, Shevchenko's days at the San Siro are very good, or in other words, AC Milan fans go to San Siro to see Shevchenko perform, which is the greatest pleasure.

After the unveiling ceremony of the new stadium, the Lion King Stadium officially appeared on the stage of history, in previous years, only some posters were hung outside the stadium, but now they have a big screen to play the team's new season promotional video, passers-by, tourists, fans, will stand and see.

Aldridge took his two sons to their parents' house in the eastern suburbs after the game, and his grandparents also wanted to spend more time with the two little ones.

Arthur tirelessly threw parties at his family's mansion, his old hooligan buddies arrived, and Aldridge stood in the corner with a plate and chatted with Carter.

"Your son is a little weird."

Carter looked at the two little ones who were sitting on the stall not far away, and suddenly said with a smile.

Aldridge wiped his mouth and followed Carter's gaze, only to see Bert holding a soccer ball to amuse. The whole person hugged the soccer ball on all fours. Roll around on the stalls

"You mean Earl?"

"Hmm. He doesn't seem to be interested in football and hasn't inherited your genes? ”

Aldrich scoffed: "This kind of thing is not absolute. ”

Earl sat to the side, quietly watching Bert play, without the slightest urge to get involved.

"Give it a try."

Carter went to get a small soccer ball and put it in front of Earle, who looked at it and finally turned his gaze back to his brother, as if he was more interested in watching his brother Bert play football. I don't want to play.

Aldridge scratched his head, as if he was really righted by Carter's words, two sons, Bert likes to play football, Earl has no hobby in this area, and can't even mention the slightest interest.

"It's weird, when I used to be with him, I would watch the game, and Earl would be attracted to the game on TV, but now he's not interested."

"Hehehe. I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously. You definitely don't expect your son to inherit his father's business, the Hall family is not a football family, a football family that doesn't play football, it's very different. ”

Aldrich nodded, not reassured.

The two sons stayed with Arthur and Amelia for three days in a row, and Aldridge spent the rest of his time with the two sons except for his work at the club.

The Charity Shield game will be Millwall's last pre-season game, although most would agree it will be an official game.

The favorite to win the new season of the Premier League, Millwall first, Golden Boot favorite, Henry is at the top of the list, the Champions League favorite is first, Millwall is first.

Millwall has become the biggest star of the Premier League this season, in addition to the huge star line-up, there are also signs like Aldridge, and his household registration book has also become a popular factor in England.

The Sun has made an alternative pitch for the opening of the new season.

In one picture, Aldridge stands on the left side of the pitch, facing to the right, and on the other side of him, nineteen Premier League managers stand.

Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, O'Reilly, Vialli, Houllier, Robson

The implication of this PS promotional image is self-explanatory.

Aldrich is now king!

Nineteen other managers have united in a crusade against the "dictator"!

The general public likes the giants, the giants seem to be noble, and the lineup is strong.

And myths like Millwall's successful counterattack and usurpation to the top, such myths have created their legend and sensationality, making their brand more widely known, loved and sought after, because Dick Silk is still the majority, and the psychology reflected is that they hope that they can also stage a counterattack in life, and the mental stimulation and encouragement brought by Millwall are indescribable.

But back in football, Millwall has more and more enemies.

The Premier League championship group all lists Millwall as the number one public enemy, and the European giants who aim to win the top of Europe also want to defeat Millwall to justify their name.

The wind on Fleet Street is also quietly changing, in the past, they wanted Millwall, the dark horse, to pull the traditional giants from the throne, and now, Millwall has dominated the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, they have turned to other teams to challenge Millwall's throne, otherwise, will they keep singing Hallelujah for Millwall?

Even David Miller, a Times columnist who has long been a clear supporter of Millwall, is suspected of defection.

"Millwall are strong and everyone knows it, but given the competitiveness of the Premier League as a whole, I'm looking forward to a strong challenge for Millwall in the new season, and we expect Manchester United, Arsenal, Leeds United, Chelsea, Liverpool and others to stop Millwall's crazy momentum, otherwise? Will the Premier League end the title suspense in January next year? No, it's not a situation we want to see, if that happens for the second season in a row, I think it's the sadness of the Premier League, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, where is the dignity of these three traditional giants? Take out the determination to catch up with Millwall, come up with the fighting spirit to surpass Millwall, and let the pattern of the Premier League be chaotic, otherwise, as I said, Manchester United, which has only three Premier League titles, Arsenal, and Liverpool, which has no Premier League titles, will have to bow down to Millwall, because if Millwall successfully defends their title this season, they will have four Premier League trophies and create the first team in the Premier League era to win three consecutive league titles! ”

Under the agitation of Fleet Street, all of a sudden, the British media was in flames, and the microphone media of various Premier League teams responded, and there was a great posture of "the princes of the Eighteenth Road will join forces to discuss Dong"!

We can't sit back and watch Millwall relentlessly reap trophies!

We can no longer raise our hands and surrender in the face of Millwall as if we had given up our dignity!

No

Once the success of the ten thousand bones withered, Millwall counterattacked and reached the top, and now sitting on the throne, a new war, kicking off the curtain and suppressing all the princes who dared to challenge them!

In August, the Premier League was in full swing. (To be continued......)
